description <p>Being a reporter is not a common profession, since life and work are intertwined. That is the case of Ryszard Kapuściński (1932-2007), the writer and journalist who took part in the great debates of Communist Poland: the function of poetry, the myth of Nowa Huta, the vision of the Latin American revolutions as the last great hope, the birth of Solidarity, the fall of the USSR ...

In this article we do not intend to find a definitive answer, but to emphasize the interest of an author who is behind such a controversy.</p>
