DESCRIPTION-‘The Emperor is the nightmare that men of power dream when they are most alone. It is a bone-chilling, brilliant tale, as precise in its cut-glass literary style as in its political insights. Taut, yet brimming with aphorism, it is the ultimate re-creation of power in decay. '-Alvin Toffler. After Haile Selassie was deposed in 1974, Ryszard Kapuscinski-Poland's top foreign correspondent-went to Ethiopia to piece together a firsthand account of how the Emperor governed his country and why he fell from power. At great risk to himself, Kapuscinski interviewed members of the imperial circle who had gone into hiding. The result is this remarkable book, an extraordinary study of power anywhere. Humorous and grotesque, acute and moving, the stories of the Emperor's servants and associates portray a man utterly determined to preserve autocratic rule. They tell how he established a network of informants, pitted potential rivals against one another, cultivated his image as sole benefactor. The eyewitnesses describe autocracy's strengths and autocracy's flaws, the people around the Emperor who were ‘on their knees-but with knives. ' When The Emperor was published in Poland in 1978, it was widely viewed as an allegory of dictatorship in general. Critics saw its publication as a key event in shaping the consensus for reform in Poland, and the book spawned a score of stage adaptations in 1981 alone. Whether read as historical documentary or political allegory, The Emperor is a dazzling literary performance. inventory #4944.
