44 Travels with Herodotus, Ryszard Kapuściński
Written by a Polish journalist this is a book in two strands. In one he reviews some of his past assignments, in the other he reviews his reading and relationship to Herodotus and his Histories. His interpretation of Herodotus was fascinating. He examines technique and proposes that Herodotus should be known as the first journalist and The Histories is the first piece of reportage.
I must re-read Herodotus. #books@bookstodon
