In part, for the simple reason that I was taken up with other things and couldn't find the freedom to absorb myself in his world as I would have liked but also for the equally simple but at the same time profound reason that there was just too much to take in.

In the Shadow of the Rising Sun by Olga Henderson

Most fundamental, however, are the political weaknesses of the system. It is in the basic political inheritance of America, reflected in the very design of the Constitution and the long dominance of Jeffersonian individualism over Hamiltonian statism, that we must locate the roots of American impotence in the face of Japan's challenge.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. Kapuściński era bianco ed europeo nell’epoca in cui la gente d’Africa si stava liberando dei bianchi europei, li scacciava, si riappropriava del potere e del paese.

The second problem is more serious - the shadow is off to the right of the main entranceway into the stone circle, and as the Sun rises higher the shadow moves further to the right and grows shorter. Does this mean I should have taken the photo earlier, or that the whole concept is flawed? This humour might seem when taken out of context to be a belitling or criticizing of the driver but within the framework of Kapuscinski's admiration for Africa and its peoples it does not read like that. I chose the example purely cos it made me smile and was a wonderful example of his ability to create in such a way that you met the people of whom he was speaking.

Sorpresivamente positivo me resultó descubrir la existencia de un país llamado Eritrea del que jamás había escuchado su nombre y que se ubica al norte de Etiopía. Más agradable aún me resultó el saber que en ese país se encuentra la ciudad de Asmara, cuya arquitectura italiana y su benigno clima hacen que se antoje visitarla.

Many of the path-breaking essays are based on primary sources from newly accessible Shanghai archives. Kapuscinski is no fool, and makes no claims to be 'describing Africa,' an impossible task. He does a very good job of describing the misery of being trapped in heat so brutal that people simply find a patch of shade and stop moving, sometimes for hours; a good job of describing the beauty of the Rwandan landscape and the way people, faced with challenges that we in the Western world can scarcely imagine, find ways to cope. Sometimes he tries to lift his matter-of-fact prose into something loftier, which tends not to work very well. domesticity: and the public identity of Su Qing, 344; during wartime, 12, 337; and women’s print culture, 328, 333, 344; and women’s role in society, 308n14.

Now in her nineties, she is finding life increasingly trying as she suffers with failing sight. Nevertheless, after much encouragement, Olga agreed to write her book which was launched in July of this year, and is entitled ‘ In the Shadow of the Rising Sun - Surviving a Prisoner of War Childhood’ .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. In February 1942, ten-year old Olga Morris and her family were living in Singapore when the city fell to the invading Japanese army.
