Of Walking In Ice by Werner Herzog
A poetic meditation on life and death, by one of the most renowned and respected film-makers and intellectuals of our time. It is a remarkable narrative part pilgrimage, part meditation, and a confrontation between a great German Romantic imagination and the contemporary world.
'Surely the strangest, strongest walking book I know, it tells the story of a winter pilgrimage, made in desperation and in hopeAt once a diary, a blizzard of weather and memories, and the record of a ritual: only Herzog could have written this weird, slender classic.' Robert Macfarlane * Robert Macfarlane *
Herzog's pilgrimage is a fugue and an absurdist comedy as rich as anything in his cinema'. Iain Sinclair * Iain Sinclair *
