{"product_id":"nosferatu-jim-shepard-9780803293465","title":"Nosferatu","description":"From this prodigiously talented writer comes a stunningly original fictional life of the German director F. W. Murnau (1888-1931). Murnau ranks as a founding father of the cinema, not least for his legendary horror film, \u003ci\u003eNosferatu\u003c\/i\u003e. Here he is revealed as a hermetic genius who turns against himself, becoming in a sense his own vampire. What shadows Jim Shepard's Murnau--through the airfields of the Great War to Berlin in the twenties and to the virtual invention of filmmaking--is the conflict between his impossibly high ideals and his heartbreaking memories of love betrayed and love lost. From provincial Germany through Hollywood in its early days to the South Seas, \u003ci\u003eNosferatu\u003c\/i\u003e charts a life at once artistic, intellectual, and deeply human. Ron Hansen provides an introduction to this Bison Books edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Shepard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803293461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803293465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.34w x 0.47d","brand":"Jim Shepard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981253837055,"sku":"9780803293465","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0b35d4c-6101-4eea-8774-de2703170bbb.jpg?v=1683254505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nosferatu-jim-shepard-9780803293465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
