Imperium is divided into three parts. The first part, "Empires of the Past," examines the rise and fall of empires in the ancient world, from the Roman Empire to the Mongol Empire. Kapuściński provides a vivid and detailed account of the lives of the people who lived under these empires, as well as the factors that led to their eventual collapse.

The second part of Imperium, "Empires of the Present," explores the rise and fall of empires in the modern world, from the British Empire to the Soviet Union. Kapuściński argues that the empires of the past and present share many similarities, but he also highlights the unique challenges that face empires in the modern world.

The third part of Imperium, "Empires of the Future," speculates on the future of empires and the role they will play in shaping the world. Kapuściński argues that the era of empires is not over, but that the nature of empires is changing. He predicts that the empires of the future will be more decentralized and more fluid, and that they will be based on economic and cultural power rather than military might.

Imperium is a masterful work that offers a unique and insightful perspective on the rise and fall of empires. Kapuściński's writing is both erudite and accessible, and he provides a wealth of historical and cultural information. Imperium is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or the future of the world.
