He rarely covered the Arab world, but I nevertheless want to express my regret here that Ryszard Kapuscinski has died two days ago, aged 74.
This is a heavy loss to a world whose parts seem to understand each other less and less. He was a 'translator of the world', as Polish TV called him yesterday.
Do widzenia, Ryszard Kapuscinski.

What a loss.
Sad news!

He was definitely one of my favorite writers -- a great inspiration.
I gasped when I read the news yesterday. How sad.
