Imperiet av Ryszard Kapuscinski (1 röst) | Läs 1 recension POCKET Svenska, 2007-05-01 Slutsåld 1967 far Ryszard Kapuscinski, en av våra samtids mest hyllade utrikesreportrar, genom södra Sovjetunionen från Georgien till de centralasiatiska republikanerna och möter en kokande, mångtydig värld med värdiga och stolta människor, trots den totalitära statens förtryck och hårda kontroll. Våren 1989 gör han om sin resa, men den här gången tar han sig kors och tvärs över hela Sovjetimperiet och tillryggalägger 6 000 mil. Under samma tidsperiod har imperiet hunnit braka samman, de etniska motsättningarna tilltagit och samhället har på alla nivåer gjort såväl ekonomisk och moralisk bankrutt. > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Kapuscinski-Imperium/83177 > Critiques Libres : http://www.critiqueslibres.com/i.php/vcrit/7412 > Bibliographie : https://www.librarything.fr/catalog.php?collection=728459&view=Joop-le-philo... > Le monde selon Ryszard Kapuściński, par Olga Stanisławska, le 28 décembre 2015. … ; (en ligne), URL : https://laviedesidees.fr/Le-monde-selon-Ryszard-Kapuscinski.html > « Autant Marquez est le grand magicien du roman contemporain, autant Kapuscinski est un extraordinaire sorcier du reportage. » —John le Carré > « Dans ses livres (…), Kapuscinski réussit un tour de force en mariant art et reportage (…).

[...] ". " La Russie inaugure le XXe siècle avec la révolution de 1905 et le clôture avec une révolution débouchant sur la désintégration de l'URSS. L'histoire de ce pays est un volcan en activité, en perpétuelle ébullition, qui n'a manifestement pas l'intention de se calmer ni de s'endormir " —Ryszard Kapuscinski. > BIBLIOGRAPHIE (Voir liste complète ici.) Imperium isn't merely a travel narrative; such would ignore its vitality as palimpsest. It traverses the same roads again and again over time, it returns to immense crime scenes and it ponders a policy of ecological suicide. The book was published in 1994 just before a number of the text's issues came to boil: the two Chechen Wars. There are whispers of the rise of the oligarchs and somewhere lurking is in the frozen mist is Putin. Kapuściński has penned an amazing account of an empire. He often suffers the human failing of bullshit philosophy and guessing wrong about an inchoate state of affairs. Stalin's chessboard left nascent atrocities across Central Asis. The author notes that dissent could've been crushed with death camps and mobile killing units, but then there would be a culpable element. Famine and cold spread the blame around. There is a sting of commiseration at the book's conclusion. I felt the stab of such as well. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Ryszard Kapuscinski's last book, The Soccer War -a revelation of the contemporary experience of war -- prompted John le Carre to call the author "the conjurer extraordinary of modern reportage." Now, in Imperium, Kapuscinski gives us a work of equal emotional force and evocative power: a personal, brilliantly detailed exploration of the almost unfathomably complex Soviet empire in our time. He begins with his own childhood memories of the postwar Soviet occupation of Pinsk, in what was then Poland's eastern frontier ("something dreadful and incomprehensible...in this world that I enter at seven years of age"), and takes us up to 1967, when, as a journalist just starting out, he traveled across a snow-covered and desolate Siberia, and through the Soviet Union's seven southern and Central Asian republics, territories whose individual histories, cultures, and religions he found thriving even within the "stiff, rigorous corset of Soviet power." Between 1989 and 1991, Kapuscinski made a series of extended journeys through the disintegrating Soviet empire, and his account of these forms the heart of the book. Bypassing official institutions and itineraries, he traversed the Soviet territory alone, from the border of Poland to the site of the most infamous gulags in far-eastern Siberia (where "nature pals it up with the executioner"), from above the Arctic Circle to the edge of Afghanistan, visiting dozens of cities and towns and outposts, traveling more than 40,000 miles, venturing into the individual lives of men, women, and children in order to Understand the collapsing but still various larger life of the empire. Bringing the book to a close is a collection of notes which, Kapuscinski writes, "arose in the margins of my journeys" -- reflections on the state of the ex-USSR and on his experience of having watched its fate unfold "on the screen of a television set...as well as on the screen of the country's ordinary, daily reality, which surrounded me during my travels." It is this "schizophrenic perception in two different dimensions" that enabled Kapuscinski to discover and illuminate the most telling features of a society in dire turmoil. Imperium is a remarkable work from one of the most original and sharply perceptive interpreters of our world -- galvanizing narrative deeply informed by Kapuscinski's limitless curiosity and his passion for truth, and suffused with his vivid sense of the overwhelming importance of history as it is lived, and of our constantly shifting places within it.

Crónica Historia Memorias Viajes
Ryszard Kapuściński, el «periodista legendario» en palabras de Franco Marcoaldi, nos ofrece un fascinante relato de recuerdos y exploraciones de la Unión Soviética absolutamente imprescindible, un fascinante reportaje polifónico, uno de los grandes libros de la década. Kapuściński realizó entre 1989 y 1991 un largo viaje por los vastos territorios de la Unión Soviética. En esos años decisivos, cuando el imperio presentaba ya síntomas de derrumbe, este implacable e incisivo cronista de su siglo visitó quince repúblicas y habló con cientos de ciudadanos acerca de las extraordinarias experiencias que les había tocado en suerte vivir, y el terror del cual estaban saliendo. Este libro (que comprende también un relato de las primeras incursiones de Ryszard Kapuściński en la Unión Soviética, entre los años 1939 y 1967) es el producto de una carrera contra el tiempo para atrapar las memorias de los anónimos protagonistas de la Historia antes de que los terribles y pasmosos acontecimientos de esos años entren para siempre en el pasado. Guiado por su curiosidad insaciable y su pasión por la verdad, Kapuściński nos cuenta el derrumbe de este imperio desde el interior mismo de la ballena, con el íntimo conocimiento que le otorga ser un ciudadano polaco cuyo propio país fue una de las colonias periféricas de dicho imperio.
