PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
In 1975, Kapuscinski traveled throughout the country listening to stories of the Supreme Emperor Haile Selassie by the servants and associates that had surrounded him while Ethiopia collapsed around him. The Polish journalist transforms these interviews into a powerful narrative of high living and unimaginable abuse by the ancient regime. Originally published in 1978.
