- More about Nobody Leaves: Impressions of Poland
In the early 1960s, Ryszard Kapuscinski was sent to write about the farthest reaches of his native Poland. The resulting essays reveal a place as strange as any of the distant lands he visited on foreign assignments, caught between ties to the past and dreams of escape. Kapuscinski's writing transcends the limitations of journalism and has the narrative power of a Conrad, Kipling, or Orwell.

A masterpiece, a poignant portrayal of post-war Poland, and the first stirring breath of one of the most essential voices of the twentieth century, the master of literary reportage.
The Times Literary Supplement
In the early 1960s, when the renowned traveler-reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski was just starting out in his journalism career, he was assigned to cover the farthest corners of his beloved Poland. The resulting essays compiled herein showcase a place as enigmatic as any of the distant lands he ventured to on foreign assignments: caught between the lingering bonds of the past and the yearning for escape, a country teetering on the brink of modernity.
Kapuscinski transcends the confines of journalism and wields the narrative prowess of legends such as Conrad, Kipling, and Orwell. His words paint vivid pictures, transporting readers to the heart of his native Poland and immersing them in its unique tapestry.
Blake Morrison, in his review of this collection, aptly describes Kapuscinski as "a writer of immense talent, a witness of extraordinary events, and a storyteller of unparalleled skill." His work is a testament to the power of literature to capture the essence of a time and place, leaving an indelible mark on the literary landscape.
