The Twilight World
In his first novel, Werner Herzog tells a hypnotic tale inspired by the true story of a Japanese soldier who defended a small island for twenty-nine years after the end of WWII 1944: Lubang Island, the Philippines. With Japanese troops about to withdraw, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda was given orders by his superior officer: Hold the island until the Imperial army's return. You are to defend its territory by guerrilla tactics, at all costs. So began Onoda's long campaign. Soon weeks turned into months, months into years, and years into decades - until eventually time itself seemed to melt away. All the while Onoda continued to fight his fictitious war, at once surreal and tragic, at first with other soldiers, and then, finally, alone, a character in a novel of his own making. . . 'An enthralling novel that explores the nature of time and warfare with great mastery' Mail on Sunday 'Herzog. . .brilliantly blends fact and fiction in this fever dream of a novel' Daily Mail 'A literary jewel set to sparkle against the backdrop of his monumental career in cinema' i

The Peregrine
Reissue of J. A. Baker's extraordinary classic of British nature writing Despite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J A Baker spent a long winter looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands - peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them. Including original diaries from which The Peregrine was written and its companion volume The Hill of Summer, this is a beautiful compendium of lyrical nature writing at its absolute best. Such luminaries as Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Ted Hughes and And...
Herzog
Moses Herzog, personajul central din romanul lui Saul Bellow, este un om suferind, un glumeț, un seducător. Deși constată că întreaga sa viață se dezintegrează – este un scriitor, profesor și tată ratat, părăsit de soție și trădat de cel mai bun prieten –, Herzog se consideră un supraviețuitor atât al dezastrelor personale, cât și al epocii în care trăiește. Concepe scrisori – pe care însă nu le trimite niciodată – către prieteni și dusmani, către colegi si personalități ale vremii, comunicându-le părerea lui despre lume și dezvăluindu-le cele mai intime secrete ale vieții sale. Roman distins cu NATIONAL BOOK AWARD O capodoperă! Vocea lui Herzog, furioasă, stranie și absurdă, este vocea civilizației noastre. The New York Times Book Review O carte spectaculoasă... cu siguranță cel mai bun roman al lui Bellow. Malcolm Bradbury
Herzog on Herzog
An invaluable set of career-length interviews with the German genius hailed by François Truffaut as "the most important film director alive" Most of what we've heard about Werner Herzog is untrue. The sheer number of false rumors and downright lies disseminated about the man and his films is truly astonishing. Yet Herzog's body of work is one of the most important in postwar European cinema. His international breakthrough came in 1973 with Aguirre, The Wrath of God, in which Klaus Kinski played a crazed Conquistador. For The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Herzog cast in the lead a man who had spent most of his life institutionalized, and two years later he hypnotized his entire cast to make Heart...
