Fritz LangThe Nature of the Beast

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £15.82
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Fritz Lang was the visionary director of Metropolis, M, Fury, The Big Heat and over thirty other memorable films. But what lurks behind his legendary genius?

Did Fritz Lang murder his first wife? Did he really refuse an offer from Hitler to become the Third Reich's 'Fuhrer of film' before he fled to the United States? Was Lang a sensitive artist or a sadomasochist whose cruel on-set behaviour was mirrored in a sordid love life crowded with prostitutes and mistresses? Patrick McGilligan demolishes the myths created by Lang and reconstructs the fascinating, flawed human being behind the monster with the monocle.
