It joins a professional autobiography, an essay on an ancient historian, and a reflection on what travel is as a way of coming to know the world. The reporter&rsquo;s companion on his first expeditions is Herodotus&rsquo;s <em>Histories</em>, a book two and a half thousand years old, which Kapuściński reads alongside his own experiences in India, China, Africa and the Middle East. This makes <em>Travels with Herodotus</em> not only a memoir but also a meditation on how to travel if one is really to understand anything. And that makes the book surprisingly current in an age of mass tourism and unlimited access to images of the world.</p>
