German film historian, mentor, and close friend Lotte Eisner was seriously ill and dying. Herzog was determined to prevent this and believed that an act of walking would keep Eisner from death. He took a jacket, a compass, and a duffel bag of the barest essentials, and wearing a pair of new boots, set off on a three-week pilgrimage from Munich to Paris through the deep chill and snowstorms of winter."Of Walking in Ice" is Herzog's beautifully written, much-admired, yet often-overlooked diary account of that journey. Herzog documents everything he saw and felt on his quest to his friend's bedside, from poetic descriptions of the frozen landscape and harsh weather conditions to the necessity of finding shelter in vacant or abandoned houses and the intense loneliness of his solo excursion.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Werner HerzogTranslator: Alan Greenberg, Martje HerzogContributor: Alan Greenberg (Translated by), Martje Herzog (Translated by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: Biography, Music Dance & TheatreItem Width: 50mmRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
