German film historian, mentor, and close friend Lotte Eisner was seriously ill and dying. Herzog was determined to prevent this and believed that an act of walking would keep Eisner from death. He took a jacket, a compass, and a duffel bag of the barest essentials, and wearing a pair of new boots, set off on a three-week pilgrimage from Munich to Paris through the deep chill and snowstorms of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOf Walking in Ice\u003c\/i\u003e is Herzog's beautifully written, much-admired, yet often-overlooked diary account of that journey. Herzog documents everything he saw and felt on his quest to his friend's bedside, from poetic descriptions of the frozen landscape and harsh weather conditions to the necessity of finding shelter in vacant or abandoned houses and the intense loneliness of his solo excursion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Includes, for the first time, Werner Herzog's 1982 \"Tribute to Lotte Eisner\" upon her receipt of the Helmut K utner Prize \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Werner Herzog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816697329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816697328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2015 pg. 32","brand":"Werner Herzog","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049984946431,"sku":"9780816697328","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27862acf-0a4e-448c-b8d6-2b8d011ad336.jpg?v=1685004527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-walking-in-ice-werner-herzog-9780816697328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
