About This Book

In 1974, upon learning that his mentor Lotte Eisner was dying in Paris, Werner Herzog walked from Munich to her bedside in an act of faith. This diary documents his three-week solo journey through winter storms and the desolate landscapes of central Europe. The narrative blends physical hardship with philosophical musings and hallucinatory observations on the human spirit.
