This new edition brings together two related novels first published in the 1930s - Mr Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin - with a new introduction by Armistead Maupin.
Two acclaimed novels based on Isherwood's experiences in pre-war Berlin, together in one volume.
Christopher Isherwood gives fascinating insight into pre-war Berlin.
MR NORRIS CHANGES TRAINS
The first of Christopher Isherwood's classic 'Berlin' novels, this portrays the encounter and growing friendship between young William Bradshaw and the urbane and mildly sinister Mr Norris. Piquant, witty and oblique, it vividly evokes the atmosphere of pre-war Berlin, and forcefully conveys an ironic political parable.
GOODBYE TO BERLIN
The inspiration for the film Cabaret and for the play I Am a Camera, this novel remains one of the most powerful of the century, a haunting evocation of the gathering storm of the Nazi terror. Told in a series of wry, detached and impressionistic vignettes, it is an unforgettable portrait of bohemian Berlin, a city and a world on the very brink of ruin.
