The term "other" / "other" may be understood as something else, as opposed to the individual to other individuals, but also the other rooted in the diversity of gender, generation, nationality, religion. Through the reportage (which is the second Kapuściński literary genre that there is more collective), the author reminds us of the interlocutors met on the streets of the world, those that tell the story of their life or who speak the society to which they belong. Who are these stakeholders? These people made up of two parts that are often difficult to separate. A man is like us, with its joys and sorrows, and those nefarious glory days, fearing the cold and hunger, who feels the pain as a misfortune and success as the satisfaction and contentment. The other, intertwined and overlapping the first, is the racial identity, culture and religion. The two sides never appear distinct and isolated in pure form, but living by influencing each other.
Kapuściński working on this double aspect of human-individual and man-emerge as the race letting cultural perception is never rigid, static, fixed once and for all, but dynamic, mobile, changeable and subject to high and low voltage depending on the external environment, the needs of the moment, and even the expectations surrounding the state of mind and of our age. The world
Kapuściński has learned about walking is revealed once again but in a new meaning: as a territory in which the preservation of diversity through the understanding of diversity.
A small book which collects the six conferences and becomes an opportunity to reflect on the other is that in each of us, the distance between man and man supposedly without connotations connotation. A small book. A great testament.
