Ryszard Kapuściński, Gorzki smak wody. Indie, Afganistan, Japonia, Chiny (“A Bitter Taste of Water. India, Afghanistan, Japan, China”), Oficyna Wydawnicza Kontynenty — PUBLISHED 23 OCTOBER.

“‘You are going to India.’ My first reaction was bewilderment. And immediately after it — panic: I know nothing about India,” Ryszard Kapuściński recalled in Travels with Herodotus.

It is a great pleasure to present Gorzki smak wody — the first book publication of Kapuściński’s stories from that journey to India and from those that followed, to Afghanistan and Japan, which he made in 1956–1957. The volume is enriched by previously unknown photographs he took in India, Japan and China.
