Murnau was known for his private film sets, reluctant to share the secrets of his mastery of light and shadow. But for \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e (1926), his final film shot in Germany before his relocation to Hollywood, he was given a remarkable memento from the production--a collection of photographs and illustrations documenting the making of the film almost step by step, inside a prop Bible. Compiled by the film's set designer, Robert Herlth, the astounding visual diary housed approximately 400 original images. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the release of this influential horror classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Faust Bible: The Making of F.W. Murnau's Masterpiece\u003c\/i\u003e is based on this stunning artifact of film history. Through a vast array of stills and sketches, the audacious skill at the heart of Murnau's production--innovative practical effects, lavish costuming and set design, detailed storyboarding--is showcased, bringing the film to life on the printed page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurent Mannoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991658034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mubi Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Laurent Mannoni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48743154319615,"sku":"9798991658034","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-faust-bible-laurent-mannoni-9798991658034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
