About the Book
Lapidarium III is the third volume of Ryszard Kapuściński’s notebook, gathering thoughts, observations and aphorisms from the second half of the 1990s. It is prose of the fragment, in which the great reporter shares what he noticed on the margins of his travels and reading, and what his reflection on his own life suggests to him.
In this part the themes of maturity and old age come through more clearly — a meditation on the passage of time, on the wisdom that experience brings, and on the conscience and responsibility of a person towards the world. Kapuściński notes observations on historical change, on the acceleration of civilisation, and on the beauty that can be hidden in simplicity and in everyday life.
Each entry can be read on its own, but together they form a coherent portrait of the author’s mind: curious about the world, attentive, given to contemplation. Lapidarium III is reading for those who value condensed thought — a short form behind which stands a whole life of observation and reflection on the human lot.
