Two acclaimed novels based on
Isherwood's experiences in pre-war Berlin, together in one volume
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 stage
and screen musical 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.
