Book Reviews of Werner Herzog - Of Walking in Ice: Munich - Paris 23 November - 14 December 1974
Book Review: For fans of werner herzog
Summary: 5 Stars
As an admirer of werner herzog, this marvellous book is in the same genre as Fitzcaraldo, and Aquirre, the wrath of god. Power images of the unexpected capture your attention and makes this book a book you cannot put down. From start to finish, you are caught up in the tale of his remarkable trip, which are his diary notes and are unedited. It is so well written you feel you are right there with him. The ending, not to give away secrets, is basically anticlimactic. I highly recommend this as a must have experience.
Summary of Werner Herzog - Of Walking in Ice: Munich - Paris 23 November - 14 December 1974
In the winter of 1974, filmmaker Werner Herzog made a three week solo journey from Munich to Paris on foot. He believed it was the only way his close friend, film historian Lotte Eisner, would survive a horrible sickness that had overtaken her. During this monumental odyssey through a seemingly endless blizzard, Herzog documented everything he saw and felt with intense sincerity. This diary is dotted with a pastiche of rants about the extreme cold and utter loneliness, notes on Herzog's films and travels, poetic descriptions of the snowy countryside, and personal philosophizing. What is most remarkable is that the reading of the book is in continuity with the experience of watching his films; it's as if, through this walk, we witness the process in which images are born. Although he received a literary award for it, this introspective masterpiece has lingered out of print since 1979. Beautifully designed and emotionally impressive, Of Walking in Ice is the first in a color-coded series of remarkable yet long-forgotten titles being republished by Free Association.Art History Books
