Ron Hansen provides an introduction to this Bison Books edition.
From provincial Germany through Hollywood in its early days to the South Seas, Nosferatu charts a life at once artistic, intellectual, and deeply human.
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.
Here he is revealed as a hermetic genius who turns against himself, becoming in a sense his own vampire.
Murnau ranks as a founding father of the cinema, not least for his legendary horror film, Nosferatu .
Murnau (1888-1931).
