Every Man for Himself and God Against All

"Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War. He would spend much of his childhood hungry and in deep poverty in a rustic part of Bavaria. It was there that one of the most visionary filmmakers of the next seven decades was formed ... In a hypnotic swirl of memory, Every Man for Himself and God Against All untangles Herzog's most important experiences and inspirations -- a personal record of one of the great and self-invented lives of our time, and a singular literary masterpiece that will enthrall fans old and new alike."--
