«Om at gå i is» is the travel diary of Werner Herzog, published by C & K Forlag in paperback (167 pages, in Danish).
Between November and December 1974, Werner Herzog walked from Munich to Paris, convinced that his arrival on foot would save the film historian Lotte Eisner, his mentor. The book brings together the notes from that pilgrimage: cold, snow, extreme exhaustion and meditations on loss, obstinacy and the healing power of walking.
The work originally appeared in German in 1978 under the title «Vom Gehen im Eis»; this Danish edition dates from 2014.
It will appeal to followers of Werner Herzog, fans of European cinema and readers of travel chronicles and walks as inner exploration.
Werner Herzog is a German filmmaker, actor, opera director, author and documentarian. Regarded as a pioneer of New German Cinema, his films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unusual talents in obscure fields, or individuals in conflict with nature. His film-making process involves avoiding storyboards, emphasizing improvisation, and placing his cast and crew into real situations mirroring those in the film on which they are working. He has received numerous accolades including a Silver Bear Award and four Awards at the Cannes Film Festival in addition to a nomination for an Academy Award.
