Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle, hiking from Munich to Paris in winter, descending an active volcano, and living in the wild among grizzly bears - he has always been fascinated by the extremes of human experience.
From his early films to his later documentaries, he has built a career exploring the limits of human endurance: what we are capable of doing under extraordinary circumstances and what these situations reveal about who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes. During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.
As a child in Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last a week for his family. The hunger and deprivation he experienced in his early years may explain his obsession with the limits of physical endurance. Throughout his life, Herzog has constantly sought challenges and adventures, disengaging from danger.
Filled with unforgettable stories and poignant insights, the book "Every Man for Himself and God against All" reveals the influences and ideas that guide his creativity and have shaped his unique view of the world. For the first time, this book tells the story of his extraordinary and fascinating life.
