Non particolarmente di facile lettura In viaggio con Erodoto di Kapuscinski, che saltando tra passato e presente mostra paesi come Cina ed India circa 20 anni fa, speriamo nei prossimi libri dello stesso autore, complice il caldo questo mi ha stufato parecchio.

easily one of my favorite travel writers - here he talks more about being a traveler, how one gets bitten and what it can be like to be thrown into completely different and unexpected situations. Highly enjoyable

A book about a book, combining passages from Herodotus' 5c BC Histories with modern events and places. Kapuscinski is a fine writer and this is an interesting and intriguing introduction to Herodotus. It made me want to read the original. And while I thoroughly enjoyed Kapuscinski's approach, I tend to agree with Martine's review here: it was a bit off the mark (interesting that I just finished Travels of Ibn Buttatah, the "Tangerine" in the book mentioned by Martine). But this is a quick and, at times poignant read. It is also a quick read, worth the time in my opinion.

Though I began reading this work with some trepidation, I found it as readable as a novel. Kapuscinski's weaving together of his own travels with those of the ancient Greek writer - Herodotus - turned about to be a wonderfully pleasant, sneaky way of getting me to read some of the "great work."

I now feel a bit less nervous about having to work with the text in my Freshman Studies course this Fall.

I liked this book a lot, but it isn't for everyone.

i am so happy i read this after [b:EAT PRAY LOVE|19501|Eat, Pray, Love|Elizabeth Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1269870432s/19501.jpg|3352398] because i had almost forgot good writing could come out of a person who travels the world. ryszard kapuscinski actually reflects on the experience--he's the sponge to elizabeth gilbert's vaccum.

he tells his stories and reads you a book all in one go. highly recommended.
