While Ethiopia collapsed around him in 1975, Kapuściński listened to stories of the recently dead Supreme Emperor Haile Selassie by the servants and associates that had surrounded him. He transforms these interviews into a powerful narrative of high living and unimaginable abuse by the ancient regime.
