From the renowned journalist comes this intimate account of his years in the field, traveling for the first time beyond the Iron Curtain to India, China, Ethiopia, and other exotic locales. In the 1950s, Ryszard Kapuscinski finished university in Poland and became a foreign correspondent, hoping to go abroad – perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India – the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world that took Kapuscinski from Iran to El Salvador, from Angola to Armenia. Revisiting his memories of traveling the globe with a copy of Herodotus' Histories in tow, Kapuscinski describes his awakening to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of new environments, and how the words of the Greek historiographer helped shape his own view of an increasingly globalized world. Written with supreme eloquence and a constant eye to the global undercurrents that have shaped the last half-century, Travels with Herodotus is an exceptional chronicle of one man's journey across continents.

Travels with Herodotus records how Kapuscinski set out on his first forays – to India, China and Africa – with the great Greek historian constantly in his pocket. He sees Louis Armstrong in Khartoum, visits Dar-es-Salaam, arrives in Algiers in time for a coup when nothing seems to happen (but he sees the Mediterranean for the first time). At every encounter with a new culture, Kapuscinski plunges in, curious and observant, thirsting to understand its history, its thought, its people. And he reads Herodotus so much that he often feels he is embarking on two journeys – the first his assignment as a reporter, the second following Herodotus’ expeditions.

Just out of university in 1955, Kapuscinski, the novice reporter, told his editor he'd like to go abroad, dreaming no farther than Czechoslovakia. Instead he was sent to India. Kapuściński gives us the non-Western world through virginal Western eyes.

During the classical age of Greece, Herodotus wrote the first great prose epic and became known through the ages as "the father of history." But he was much more than that. He was also the world's first travel writer, a pioneering geographer, anthropologist, explorer, moralist, investigative reporter, foreign correspondent, and enlightened multiculturalist. He was at once a learned professor and a tabloid journalist, a man of great wit and wisdom with an unfailing eye for fabulous material to inform and amuse, to titillate, horrify, and entertain.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Before Herodotus travels to many different places and sees many different things, he will appear in a lecture on ancient Greece delivered twice weekly to the first-year students in Warsaw University’s department of history. He will just as quickly disappear. #2 The Histories of Herodotus, a book written about two and a half thousand years ago, was translated into Polish in the mid-1940s. But the book was suddenly halted due to the atmosphere of fear that existed following the death of Stalin. #3 A person consumed by allusion will reach for Herodotus. He will find allusions everywhere, from the Histories, which consists of nine books. Each one is a pile of allusions. #4 I was a novice reporter for a newspaper called Sztandar Młodych. I was assigned to follow the trail of letters sent to the editor back to their points of origin. I wanted to cross the border and come right back, but I didn’t know how to do it.

Intrepid travel historian Justin Marozzi retraces the footsteps of Herodotus through the Mediterranean and Middle East, examining Herodotus's 2,500-year-old observations about the cultures and places he visited and finding echoes of his legacy reverberating to this day. The Way of Herodotus is a lively yet thought-provoking excursion into the world of Herodotus, with the man who invented history ever present, guiding the narrative with his discursive spirit.
