Every Man for Himself, and God Against All. Autobiography

Werner Herzog is a famous German director who has filmed on all six continents, a traveler, author of diaries, poet, and a vibrant independent thinker. His biography would be enough for seven people — in this memoir, he recounts his... first insights, adventures around the world, taming the untamed Klaus Kinski, ecstatic truth, and the difficult path to creative autonomy. Herzog descended into caves, filmed under Antarctic ice, ventured into deserts and high mountain glaciers. "Every Man for Himself, and God Against All" is a book in which the author travels through time from post-war childhood to our days, peering into both prehistoric times and a very distant future.
