ISBN:  9780816697328 (pbk.) 0816697329 (pbk.) Uniform title:  Vom Gehem im Eis. English English Edition:  First University of Minnesota Press edition. Description:  125 pages ; 21 cm. Summary:  "In late November 1974, filmmaker Werner Herzog received a phone call from Paris delivering some terrible news. 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. This is Herzog's beautifully written diary account of that journey. He 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. Werner Herzog,one of the greatest figures of the New German Cinema, has produced, written, and directed more than fifty films, including Nosferatu the Vampyre; Aguirre, the Wrath of God; Fitzcarraldo; and Grizzly Man. He grew up in a remote mountain village in Bavaria and now lives in Los Angeles, California"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Travel memoirs. Memoirs. Other authors:  Herzog, Martje. Greenberg, Alan.
