The Visions of Werner Herzog

The reading list set by Werner Herzog for the Rogue Film School he founded in 2009 makes interesting reading in its own right. Three books were required for all attendees: Virgil’s Georgics, Ernest Hemingway’s short story “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” and JA Baker’s The Peregrine. Suggested reading comprised The Warren Commission Report, The Poetic Edda and Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s The True History of the Conquest of New Spain.
