For much of the time I was reading it, I was mesmerized by the writing, flabbergasted by some of the information about Africa, and convinced I was encountering the continent in a nuanced and subtle and authentic manner.

As Olga says, “We always felt the end of the war would come, we lived for it, from month to month and tried never to lose hope.” About This Edition ISBN: As the 80th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore arrived in 2022, Olga felt ready to tell her story: recounting the great fear and deprivation, and of a childhood lost to conflict. It’s a story of class prejudice, too, such as when she was freed and her experiences as she returned to England as an unwanted refugee.

What I can do is to try and take photos closer to the actual solstice day than the 24th June, to see if the shadowplay improves at all. A clear-to-the-horizon sky within a day either side of summer solstice is rarer than you might think. The few occasions I've seen one have mostly coincided with the actual solstice day, when upwards of 10,000 people are standing exactly where the shadow should fall. native-place connections: and the Great Way Government, 163n11; and recruitment at New Asia, 77; used by New Fourth Army agents, 93, 107–8 confiscation: of Chinese flour mills, 51–52; of factories, 46; from Shanghai enterprises, 31, 31n65; of U.S. and British firms, 36–37, 37n89

Ovvio che tocca partire dalla storia della colonizzazione europea, arrivare alla fine della stessa, e poi le rivolte che sembrano accendersi come fiammiferi, che l’Occidente è sempre pronto a “impacchettare” ad arte.

Tokom čitanja se sablažnjavate, plačete, histerično smejete, vičete i ričete, živite kontinent koji nikada i nikako nećete živeti, ovako i ovoliko duboko i autenticno. Čitanje koje peče kao saharsko Sunce i boli kao priča o groblju slonova, najtužnija koju sam u životu pročitao.

Kapuściński cominciò a viaggiare in Africa alla fine degli anni Cinquanta e ha continuato a farlo con il suo inconfondibile stile per qualche decennio in avanti, scrivendo pezzi su vari argomenti e diverse nazioni del continente nero, evitando gli stereotipi, le tappe obbligate e i luoghi comuni, fermandosi ad abitare nei sobborghi più poveri, ammalandosi di malaria cerebrale e tubercolosi, curate negli ambulatori locali, rischiando la morte per mano di miliziani, raccontando la vita della gente: semplicemente mischiandosi, incontrando e condividendo con la gente comune, senza però snobbare quella più celebre. labor: CC Clique and, 210, 220, 220–21n27, 222, 226; communists and, 212, 215, 219, 219n25; Du Yuesheng and, 190; Japanese and, 215–18, 236; native-place associations and, 123, 222, 223, 226, 227; unions, 217, 220–21, 220n26; and Wang Jingwei regime, 9, 123, 189, 220–22.
