Every Man for Himself, and God Against All. Autobiography

Werner Herzog is a famous German director who made films on all six continents, a traveler, diarist, poet and a brilliant independent thinker. His biography would be enough for seven people – in his book of memoirs he talks about his first insights, adventures around the world, taming the frantic Klaus Kinski, ecstatic truth and the difficult path to creative autonomy. Herzog descended into caves, filmed under the Antarctic ice, went to deserts and high-mountain glaciers. “Every Man for Himself, and God Against All” is a book in which the author travels in time from his post-war childhood to the present day, looking both into the prehistoric era and into the very distant future.
