Imperium is one of my favorites, as is Kapuściński. I revisit the "Georgia, 1967" passage from Imperium often. The whole book has a poetry to it, but that passage in particular is a beautiful little piece amid the brutality of much of the rest of the book.
Kapuściński was a great writer. His book on Haille Sellassie is extraordinary.
