The authoress of the paper analyses the selected aspect of narration in 'The Emperor' - Ryszard Kapuscinski's literary report as well as shows the historical context of its composing. The analysis of 'The Emperor's' first edition in the weekly 'Kultura' refers mainly to indicate the initial design and most important changes that Kapuscinski introduced into its book version. The remaining parts of the paper are devoted to the mode of shaping the narration which is made with an intensive collecting of the material, structuring it into a compositional and stylistic entity of a parabolic character. Important elements of the narration are also interferences of the reporter's voice and his interlocutors, dialogical 'I' of the narrator which allow him to penetrate the mentality of Haile Sellasje's servants, and due to archaic stylization, rhythm, and neologisms depict their way of thinking and the mechanisms functioning in the castle. The narrative strategies in question make the story of the Ethiopian court a historiosophic reflection on all sorts of power.

This study aims to examine the emergence and connections of two non-fictional genres, the report and sociography. Modernization forms the background for both genres: the report is a product of urbanization, while sociography was created by the need for the modernization of the village and the necessity of the peasantry’s emancipation. The study describes the parallels between the two genres based on the work of the first noteworthy Hungarian journalist-reporter, Kornél Tábori, and the activities of the sociographists of the 1930s, touching on their connections to literature and sociology as well. The study also discusses the literary report, as cultivated by both Polish and Hungarian writers at the turn of the century and during the interwar period. The closing remarks point out the parallels between sociography in Polish and world literature (the Przedmieście group, Neue Sachlichkeit, LEF, Novij LEF).
