«Spanien» is Werner Herzog's travel book about Spain, published by C.H. Beck in 1995 in paperback (171 pages, in German).
Filmmaker Werner Herzog describes Spain through travel sketches, with a personal gaze that lingers on landscapes, villages, history and customs. The result is a literary and visual text, closer to an author's narrative than a practical guide.
The book belongs to C.H. Beck's 'Beck'sche Reihe Länder' series; the cover subtitle, 'Reisebilder', alludes to these travel sketches.
For readers interested in travel literature and in Werner Herzog's view of Spain.
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.
