| Abstract: | Ryszard Kapuściński’s The Emperor and Shah of Shahs are most commonly interpreted as universal metaphors for the decline of power and are regarded as only loosely related with the actual history of Ethiopia and Iran. The fol-lowing article attempts to read Kapuściński’s account of the Islamic revolution alongside source material regarding the history of Iran. Moreover, the article notes the influences of August 1980 on the ultimate form of the book and its intertextual connections with Zbigniew Herbert’s 1981 poem “The Power of Taste.” The inclusion of varied contextual information allows to see Shah of Shahs as a multidimensional story which at the same time discusses the his-tory of Iran, touches upon the central ideals of the revolution and constitutes an affirmation of the arts. |
