I adore Kapuściński and this is my 3rd book. Although usually he is pretty objective, in this book I sense a dosis of Orientalism when he contrasts Europe (Greece) and Asia (Persia) that gets annoying. For instance, he compares Asia's slavery vs Europe's freedom in the times of the Battle of Thermophylae, a time when Greek societies did have slavery as an essential institution!!! I'm disappointed
