Beschreibung

First published in the 1930s, <em>The Berlin Stories</em> contains two astonishing related novels, <em>The Last of Mr. Norris</em> and <em>Goodbye to Berlin</em>, which are recognized today as classics of modern fiction. Isherwood magnificently captures 1931 Berlin: charming, with its avenues and cafés; marvelously grotesque, with its nightlife and dreamers; dangerous, with its vice and intrigue; powerful and seedy, with its mobs and millionaires-this is the period when Hitler was beginning his move to power. <em>The Berlin Stories</em> is inhabited by a wealth of characters: the unforgettable Sally Bowles, whose misadventures in the demimonde were popularized on the American stage and screen by Julie Harris in <em>I Am A Camera</em> and Liza Minnelli in <em>Cabaret</em>; Mr. Norris, the improbable old debauchee mysteriously caught between the Nazis and the Communists; plump Fräulein Schroeder, who thinks an operation to reduce the scale of her Büste might relieve her heart palpitations; and the distinguished and doomed Jewish family, the Landauers.
