Negotiations are being conducted with the holders of the copyright, regarding the staging of &lsquo;The Emperor&rsquo; as a theatrical production, as has been done in, among other places, Great Britain and Poland&rdquo; — the man from Kielce quoted from a letter from the Chinese translator.</p>https://kapuscinski.info/en/books/the-emperor/a-treatise-on-power-the-emperor-by-ryszard-kapuscinski/Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000https://kapuscinski.info/en/books/the-emperor/a-treatise-on-power-the-emperor-by-ryszard-kapuscinski/<p><strong>Author: Artur Domosławski</strong></p> <p>From Tuesday in the news-stands: &ldquo;The Emperor&rdquo; by Ryszard Kapuściński — the next book in our twentieth-century collection. Not only did it launch the international career of the greatest Polish reporter; it also elevated reportage to the status of high literature. The very highest.</p> <p>To write a note about Kapuściński&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Emperor&rdquo; is like writing about Homer&rsquo;s &ldquo;Iliad&rdquo;.</p> <p>The American prose writer John Updike considered &ldquo;The Emperor&rdquo; a &ldquo;magical reflection that often transforms itself into poetry and aphorism&rdquo;. The review by that very writer, published in the American &ldquo;New Yorker&rdquo;, launched the international career of &ldquo;The Emperor&rdquo;. The year was 1981.</p>
