Book description
Set in the 1930s,
Goodbye to Berlin
evokes the glamour and sleaze, excess and repression of Berlin society.
Isherwood shows the lives of people at threat from the rise of the
Nazis: a wealthy Jewish heiress, Natalia Landauer, a gay couple, Peter
and Otto, and an English upper-class waif, the divinely decadent Sally
Bowles. Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904 and moved to America
where he took up formal citizenship in 1946. His many famous works
include Mr Norris Changes Trains
and Goodbye to Berlin
.
