About the Book

Una de las historias más fascinantes de todos los tiempos, contada por el mejor narrador de todos los tiempos.

La primera novela de Herzog, nuestro mayor genio vivo. El pensador más intrépido, divertido y profundo de los últimos tiempos.

La increíble historia del soldado japonés que jamás se rindió (porque no sabía que la Segunda Guerra Mundial había acabado).

Todas y cada una de las historias de Herzog las podría contar cualquiera en un bar, frente a una chimenea, en una sala académica, y atraparían la atención del público. Pero el caso es que, cuando las narra Herzog, se convierten en únicas y mágicas y nos hablan del alma del ser humano. De quiénes somos en realidad.

--Señor Herzog --me dijo--. El emperador quiere invitarlo a una audiencia privada. A menos que no pueda permitirse distracciones antes del estreno, claro. --¡Cielo santo! --respondí--. No tengo ni idea de cómo hablarle al emperador. La conversación acabaría siendo un intercambio insustancial de fórmulas de cortesía.

Sentí la mano de mi esposa Lena sobre la mía, pero ya era demasiado tarde. Había rehusado la invitación. Fue un paso en falso, tan estúpido y descomunal que todavía hoy me avergüenza. Todos los que estaban sentados a la mesa se quedaron petrificados. Nadie parecía respirar. Todas las miradas cayeron al suelo, se apartaron de mí, y un largo silencio congeló el ambiente. Pensé que, en ese instante, todo Japón contenía el aliento. Una voz rompió el silencio:

--¿A quién le gustaría conocer en Japón, entonces?
Sin pensarlo, dije:
--A Onoda.
¿Onoda? ¿Onoda?
--Sí --dije--, a Hiroo Onoda.
Una semana más tarde, lo conocí.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The great filmmaker Werner Herzog in his first novel tells the incredible story of Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier who defended a small island in the Philippines for twenty-nine years after the end of World War II.

In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former soldier famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and met many times, talking and unraveling the story of Onoda's long war.

At the end of 1944 on Lubang Island, with Japanese troops about to withdraw, Onoda stayed behind under orders from his superior officer. For years, Onoda continued to fight his fictitious war--at first with other soldiers, and then, finally, alone, a character in a novel of his own making.

In The Twilight World, Herzog immortalizes and imagines Onoda's years of absurd yet epic struggle in an inimitable, hypnotic style--part documentary, part poem, and part dream--that will be instantly recognizable to fans of his films. The result is a novel completely unto itself: a glowing, dancing meditation on the purpose and meaning we give our lives.
