Recenzii
"[The Emperor] transcends reportage, becoming a nightmare of power... An unforgettable, fiercely comic, and finally compassionate book."
—Salman Rushdie
"Kapuscinski transcends the limitations of journalism and writes with the narrative power of a Conrad or Kipling or Orwell."
—Blake Morrison
"A Stunning exhibit; the interviewed subjects. . .enunciate their memories of the days of Haile Selassie with a magical elegance that. . .achieves poetry and aphorism."
—John Updike, The New Yorker

Textul de pe ultima copertă
this is Kapuscinski's rendition of Selassie's servants and closest associates accounts- humorous, frightening, sad, grotesque- of a man living amidst nearly unimaginable pomp and luxury while his people teetered between hunger and starvation.
Notă biografică
