Germany: Edel Books, 2011. Hardcover. New. Hardcover New large format hardcover, thick and heavey, mainly photos from Kinski's wondrous life Ships from Hawaii. Peter Geyer leitet seit 12 Jahren den Nachlass der Schauspiellegende und erlaubt nun erstmals einen intensiven Blick hinter die Kulissen. Zusammen mit dem Artdirector OA Krimmel reiht er Preziosen aus Klaus Kinskis lebenslanger Schaffenswut zu einer Perlenkette, deren atemberaubende Schönheit ebenso verblüfft wie die tiefe Einsicht in das Innenleben eines Getriebenen, der aus seinen Selbstinszenierungen als letzter deutscher Filmstar mit Kultstatus hervorging. Unveröffentlichte autobiografische Texte, Erzählungen, Briefe, Fotos, Zeichnungen und allerlei Privates zeigen den Mann mit den vielen Gesichtern einmal ganz ungeschminkt. Aufwendig gestaltet und erhellend kommentiert präsentiert dieses Buch Klaus Kinskis Hinterlassenschaft an die Welt: sein Vermächtnis.
