For many readers Jagielski is the natural continuation of the tradition that Kapuściński helped to shape in Polish reportage. Both travel to where history accelerates. Both write about Africa, the Caucasus, Asia and places where the state is a fiction and everyday life unfolds alongside great politics. And yet they differ in their way of looking, in the role of the narrator and in their attitude to generalisation. Comparing these two reporters helps us see how Polish reportage changed between Kapuściński&rsquo;s generation and the reporters who came after him.</p>
