Every Man for Himself and God against All

An exceptional memoir by the world-famous, pioneering filmmaker who directed the multi-award-winning Grizzly Man.

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.

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.
