Questo è un libro molto personale, sull'essere soli e persi'. Nel 1975 i datori di lavoro di Kapuscinski lo mandarono in Angola per documentare la guerra civile scoppiata dopo l'indipendenza. Per mesi osservò Luanda e poi il resto del paese sprofondare in una guerra civile che, nelle parole dell'autore, era 'sciatta, ostinata e crudele'. Nel suo resoconto, Kapuscinski dimostra una straordinaria capacità di descrivere e spiegare il significato individuale di grandi astrazioni politiche.

In 1975, Kapuscinski flew into Luanda in Angola, to cover the murderous civil war that had broken out after independence.
