The Soccer War: The End

The last chapter of the book arrives and not many things are cleared up. In this last blog I just want to resume and share my thoughts regarding Ryzard Kapuscinski. It´s very hard to find people so devoted to their work as him, more likely when your work threatens your life. In many occations we see that Kapuscinski´s life is about to end and he knows. "Suddenly there was an explosion in my forehead, deafining, as if someone had smashed my head with a hammer. Excruciating. I leapt up and started to scream: Scorpion! Scorpion!" (pg. 217). Here, almost at the end of the book, he does not cheat death in war but with nature, and still he keeps on working. Also something that I liked is that there are great historical events that the book talks about. I believe that this is a novel that captures the readrs attention imediately, all because Kapuscinski job was a perfect job, just for someone so devoted to his work as him.
