"Originally published in Germany as [sic] Der Eroberung des Nutzlosen by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2004"--T.p. verso.
"These texts are not reports on the actual filming [of Fitzcarraldo]--of which little is said. Nor are they journals, except in a very general sense. They might be described instead as inner landscapes, bortn of the delirium of the jungle. But even that may not be entirely accurate--I am not sure."--preface by Werner Herzog, Jan. 2004.
