Por una parte playas de ensueño bañadas de sol y brumosos bosques tropicales sumergidos en la niebla que destacan sobre el trasfondo de volcanes recubiertos de hielo, lagos que reflejan el entorno como espejos y acantilados que dominan el paisaje como rascacielos. Por la otra áridos y tórridos desiertos adornados de cactus en flor e interminables praderas que sirven de hogar a búfalos y coyotes. Esa es la fiesta de contrastes que se despliega ante la mirada de aquellos que recorren la autopista "West Coast Highway". Un tesoro de paisajes que ofrece también urbes como la moderna Seattle, la tolerante San Francisco y la vibrante Los Ángeles con su fábrica de ilusiones: Hollywood. Entre la Columbia Británica y México se pueden hallar reservas indias, "chinatowns", asentamientos ocultos de inmigrantes ilegales, aisladas colonias de artistas así como el agitado estilo de vida de célebres barrios como Beverly Hills y Venice. La disparidad entre las salvajes y solitarias costas rocosas del "Olympic National Park", en el estado de Washington, y la policromática animación de los muelles de la californiana Santa Mónica no podría ser mayor. También los terremotos son parte de la vida cotidiana del Oeste. Especialmente "the big one", el grave sismo que en 1906 destruyó gran parte de San Francisco, ha quedado grabado en la memoria colectiva. De igual modo se recuerdan el terremoto de San Fernando de 1971, que casi provocó la ruptura de la presa de Los Ángeles y que obligó a evacuar a 80 000 personas, y el inolvidable gran terremoto de Los Ángeles de 1994.

Werner Herzog es uno de los pocos cineastas que ha conseguido superar todas las fronteras, físicas y cinematográficas, existentes en el mundo audiovisual; es el único director que ha rodado en los siete continentes, ha cruzado con exito la linea que separa la ficcion y el documental, ha salido victorioso de sus cameos como actor, y por si fuera poco, tiene una de las voces mas reconocibles y singulares de la historia del cine. Aguirre, la colera de Dios, Grizzly Man, Fitzcarraldo o El enigma de Gaspar Hauser, destacan en una carrera que supera los 50 años y las 70 peliculas, entre ficcion y documental. Su cinematografia recorre pasado, presente y futuro de la humanidad siguiendo una premisa: buscar la verdad para que todos puedan entenderla. Herzog se ha convertido en una figura clave venerada por los directores veteranos y en un referente para las nuevas generaciones. Este libro pretende abarcar la evolucion del cineasta, del pensador, del aventurero, del caminante, sin ir de pelicula en pelicula, sino de periodo en periodo, de idea en idea, paso a paso.

La escritura cinematográfica de Werner Herzog ha devenido la representación de los avatares del dispositivo cinematográfico a caballo entre finales del siglo pasado y comienzos del presente. La presente monografia se vertebra a partir de ensayos escritos por diversos autores en torno a aspectos tematicos, narrativos y formales de su obra y del analisis de gran parte de su filmografia.

One of the best things published about cinema Sight & Sound Herzog was once hailed by Francois Truffaut as the most important director alive Famous for his frequent collaborations with mercurial actor Klaus Kinski including the epics Aguirre the Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo and the terrifying Nosferatu and more recently with documentaries such as Grizzly Man Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Into the Abyss Herzog has built a body of work that is one of the most vital in post war German cinema Here he reflects on his legendary and inspiring career

Werner Herzog s protean imagination has produced a filmography that is nothing less than a sustained meditation on the modern human condition Though Herzog takes his topics from around the world the Americas have provided the setting and subject matter for iconic works ranging from Aquirre The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo to Grizzly Man Joshua Lund offers the first systematic interpretation of Werner Herzog s Americas themed works illuminating the director s career as a political filmmaker a label Herzog himself rejects Lund draws on materialist and post colonial approaches to argue that Herzog s American work confronts us with the circulation distribution accumulation application and negotiation of power that resides quietly at the center of his films By operating beyond conventional ideological categories Herzog renders political ideas in radically unfamiliar ways while fearlessly confronting his viewers with questions of world historical significance His maddeningly opaque viewpoint challenges us to rethink discovery and conquest migration and exploitation resource extraction slavery and other foundational traumas of the contemporary human condition

Werner Bischof (191654) was an outstanding photojournalist of the postwar years. When his career was cut short by his untimely death (aged 38) in a car accident in the Andes he was a member of the prestigious agency, Magnum, and his work was sought after by numerous international news magazines. He had begun his career in Zurich as an advertising photographer. Unable to remain a passive observer, it was the destruction wreaked by World War II that led him into photojournalism. He gave the rest of his life to reportage photography, which could, he believed, raise awareness and thereby effect real change and bring about a better world.
