Excerpt: Ryszard Kapu ci ski (Polish pronunciation: ( listen); March 4, 1932 - January 23, 2007) was a Polish journalist and writer whose dispatches in book form brought him a global reputation. Also a photographer and poet, he was born in Pi sk-now in Belarus-in the Kresy Wschodnie or eastern borderlands of the second Polish Republic, into poverty: he would say later that he felt at home in Africa as "food was scarce there too and everyone was also barefoot." Kapu ci ski himself called his work "literary reportage," and reportage d'auteur. In the English-speaking world, his genre is sometimes characterised as "magic journalism" (in counterpoint to magic realism), a term coined for him by Adam Hochschild in 1994. More recently, during the period since his death, scholars have indicated the similarities between Kapu ci ski's style of writing and the traditional Polish form known as the gaw da szlachecka. He was one of the top Polish writers most frequently translated into foreign languages, having been surpassed on this count only by the Nobel Prize-winner, Wis awa Szymborska. An altar boy in a Roman Catholic church in his childhood, Kapu ci ski in his adolescence became an amateur (bantamweight) boxer of some note and a poet who won two magazine prizes in 1950. While still in high school, in 1948, Kapu ci ski joined the official Communist youth organisation-the ZMP-and served as the head of its local cell (a position in which, despite his tender age, he earned a reputation for being a fanatical disciplinarian). In this capacity he participated in the Youth Festival in East Berlin staged in August 1951 as a propaganda event for the Communist Germany. (This was, to all appearance, his first foreign trip.) During the period from 1953 to 1981-the year of the imposition of the martial law in Poland-Kapu ci ski was a member of the Communist Party (the PZPR), having lodged his original application for candidate membership of the Party in 1952, at the age of 20, during the Stalinist
