Ponadczasowość teorii reportażu literackiego według Ryszarda Kapuścińskiego
Timelessness of literature journalism theory according to Ryszard Kapuściński

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of my work is to present the influence that Ryszard Kapuściński had on the shape of the genre itself as well the impact it made on the younger generation. I performed the comparative study using texts written by modern authors. The cognitive value of my work relies on the indication which of Kapuściński’s theoretical assumptions refer to the form of modern literature journalism, including those one can find in his books that influenced the works of such authors like Wojciech Jagielski, Paweł Smoleński, Wojciech Tochman or Mariusz Szczygieł. I argue that some poetical elements (e.g. the skilful use of stylistic media), adequate to the challenges presented in the book as well the personal signature of the text, reflectivity, humility and respect to reliable knowledge discovered in Kapuściński’s books, became the pattern that has resulted in varying results realised by younger adepts of literature journalism.
