A fever-dream journal documenting the making of cinemaâ ™s most infamous production, from the world s most infamously visionary director: Werner Herzog. In 1982, the visionary film director, Werner Herzog, released Fitzcarraldo, a lavish film about a would-be rubber baron who pulls a 320-ton steamship over a mountain. Hailed instantly by critics around the globe as a masterpiece, Fitzcarraldo won Herzog the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, affirming Herzog s reputation as one of the most revered and enigmatic filmmakers of his time. Conquest of the Useless is the diary Herzog kept during the making of Fitzcarraldo, compiled from June 1979 to November 1981. Emerging as if out of an Amazonian fever dream during filming, Herzog s writings are an extraordinary documentary unto themselves, providing a glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making of one of his greatest achievements. â ˜Hypnotic... It is ever tempting to try to fathom [Herzogâ ™s] restless spirit and his determination to challenge fateâ ™ New York Times

Červen 1979: Werner Herzog se vydává do jihoamerické džungle natočit film Fitzcarraldo, příběh muže, sen a jeho realizaci. Natáčení se mění v dobrodružství: Deník Wernera Herzoga Dobývání marnosti je záznamem existenciálního zážitku a pokračujícího konfliktu s představitelem hlavní role Klausem Kinským, který se stále hlouběji dostává do své role Fitzcarralda. Werner Herzog (5. září 1942), vlastním jménem Werner H. Stipeti?, se narodil chorvatským rodičům v Mnichově, ale vyrůstal v malé bavorské vesničce nedotčené moderními technologiemi. Ve dvanácti letech poprvé viděl promítat film a ve čtrnácti začal pěšky poznávat Německo. Studoval literaturu a historii v Mnichově, později absolvoval filmový seminář v Pittsburghu na Duquesne University. Studia však nedokončil a namísto toho cestoval a živil různými pracemi včetně jezdce na rodeu. V roce 1963 založil produkční společnost Werner Herzog Film Production, aby si udržel nezávislost. Za svou filmovou kariéru natočil více než padesát filmů. Působil však také jako spisovatel, herec, scénarista a operní režisér. Spolupracoval mimo jiné s divadlem v Bayreuthu a milánské La Scale. V jeho hraných i dokumentárních filmech a knihách se odrážejí Herzogovy sympatie k zvláštnímu a ojedinělému způsobu života často na odlehlých místech naší planety nebo mimo normy moderní západní společnosti

Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been intrigued by the extremes of human experience.From his early movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of in exceptional 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 rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures.Filled to the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, Every Man for Himself and God against All unveils the influences and ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his extraordinary and fascinating life.

What if a lie is told to reveal some underlying truth? Are feelings that seem inappropriate, such as hysteria following the death of a celebrity, any less true than the grief we feel over the death of a loved one? Even if the plot of an opera seems preposterous, can’t it still express emotions that ring true with the audience?At the heart of this fascinating and iconoclastic book lies Werner Herzog’s concept of ‘ecstatic truth’ – a truth that is often hidden behind the facts and our conceptions of reality but can be gleaned through the poetic imagination, in art, literature and cinema, when we open ourselves up to an aesthetic experience. Written in Herzog’s inimitable style, these stories, anecdotes and reflections take us from present-day deep fakes and the opportunities and perils of AI to ancient Egypt and Rome, where rulers resorted to lies and propaganda in the same way as governments do today; from Scott and Amundsen’s race to the South Pole to alien abduction claims and the making of Herzog’s own films. With its singular vision and unique voice, The Future of Truth is a compelling meditation on the relationship between fact and fiction – evidence and imagination – by one of today’s most fascinating and idiosyncratic thinkers.

Author of 365 Days of Drawing. Lise Herzog is an accomplished teacher of pen and pencil skills. Her first work with Firefly is notable for the thoroughness of its easy lessons, progressing from a few simple lines to shading and texture... over 365 days. When it comes to drawing, practice makes perfect. In 365 Days of Drawing People, Herzog shows how, with a few strokes of the pencil, you can make a simple likeness of infant, toddler, young adult and older people -- people with work and age lines in their faces. And progressively, through the year, make more complex drawings of hands and limbs, faces and hair, and have multiple perspectives of the same person, or drawings of bodies in motion. Each drawing is shown in black on the page, but the days of the year and title of the drawing are in 4-color, so that the book is a lively and inspiring presentation. Better still, like the original 365 Days of Drawing, this new book is very thick, and quarter-bound in real cloth, looking like a real traditional artist s notebook or sketchpad. This feature has been a notable factor in the success of the original book -- despite its modest retail price, it looks like a million!

A Short History of European Law brings to life 2,500 years of legal history, tying current norms to the circumstances of their conception. Tamar Herzog describes how successive legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the European Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was used and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition. ⠜A remarkable achievement, sure to become a go-to text for scholars and students alike⠦ A must-read for anyone eager to understand the origins of core legal concepts and institution⠔like due process and rule of law⠔that profoundly shape the societies in which we live today.⠝⠔Amalia D. Kessler, Stanford University⠜A fundamental and timely contribution to the understanding of Europe as seen through its legal systems. Herzog masterfully shows the profound unity of legal thinking and practices across the Continent and in England.⠝⠔Federico Varese, Oxford University⠜Required reading for Americanists North and South, and indeed, for all of us inhabiting a postcolonial world deeply marked by the millennia of legal imaginings whose dynamic transformations it so lucidly charts.⠝⠔David Nirenberg, University of Chicago

V tomto prípade ide o poetický debut. Totiž, Herzoga čitateľská verejnosť pozná ako autora prozaického diela Spomienky lodníka, ktorého úspech na knižnom trhu inicioval rozšírené vydanie pamätí Spoveď dunajského lodníka, v ktorých vyrozprával vlastný životopis v podobe svedectva, ako sa v priebehu desaťročí menil život ľudí prácou spojených s riekou, ale i vzácnych pomocníkov na brehu. Hoci L. Herzog vplával do dôchodcovského veku, písaniu ostáva verný. Dôkazom toho je nová kniha poviedok Plavba za horizont a spomínaná zbierka básní Svet posadnutých, v ktorej svoje životné skúsenosti a pocity pretlmočil aj do veršovanej podoby. Ozaj vydarený básnický debut!

Ladislav Herzog (nar. 12. 12. 1939) sa do povedomia čitateľskej verejnosti zapísal ako autor úspešného románu Spomienky lodníka (2000), jeho rozšíreného vydania Spomienky dunajského lodníka (2002) a poviedkovej knihy Plavba za horizont (2006). Svoje prebohaté skúsenosti a zážitky však skvelo pretlmočil aj do poetickej podoby. Svedčí o tom nielen básnický debut Svet posadnutých (2006), ale aj ďalšie básnické zbierky Stratená biblia (2007) a Pomýlená navigácia (2009) - plné autorových meditácií, lyrických spovedí i rozjímaní nad tým, čo nevdojak pozabudol vyriecť v próze. Pre autora s nezlomnou lodníckou náturou je charakteristické i to, že aj v dôchodcovskom veku je mu činorodosť a tvorivosť vlastná a napísané slovo ostáva svedkom prežitého aj po rokoch.

For seven years, photographer and artist Lena Herzog followed the evolution of a new kinetic species. Intricate as insects but with bursts of equine energy, the ⠜Strandbeests,⠝ or ⠜beach creatures,⠝ are the creation of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, who has been working for nearly two decades to generate these new life-forms that move, and even survive, on their own. Set to roam the beaches of Holland, the Strandbeests pick up the wind in their gossamer wings and spring, as if by metamorphosis, into action. As if it were blood, not the breeze, running through their delicate forms, they quiver, cavort, and trot against the sun and sea, pausing to change direction if they sense loose sand or water that might destabilize their movement. Coinciding with a traveling exhibition, Herzog⠙s photographic tribute captures Jansen⠙s menagerie in a meditative black and white, showcasing Jansen⠙s imaginative vision, as well as the compelling intersection of animate and inanimate in his creatures. The result is a work of art in its own right and a mesmerizing encounter not only with a very surrealist brand of marvelous, but also with whole new ideas of existence.
