Ryszard Kapuściński, one of journalism's most feted names, is the subject of controversy following the release in Poland of a new biography of his life.
In Kapuscinski: Non-fiction, the Polish journalist Artur Domoslawski alleges that some of Kapuscinski's acclaimed writings were nothing short of lies. Domoslawski argues that Kapuscinski embellished some of the stories he included in his books and, worse, claimed to be present at historic events when he was elsewhere. He is also accused of never having met famous and influential people – such as Che Guevara – whom he wrote about befriending.
The allegations have been met with outrage by Kapuscinski's widow, Alicja, whose bid to have publication of the book blocked in the Polish courts failed.
