First published in the 1930s, The Berlin Stories contains two
astonishing related novels, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to
Berlin, which are recognized today as classics of modern fiction.
Isherwood magnificently captures 1931 Berlin: charming, with its
avenues and cafes; 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. The Berlin Stories 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 I Am A Camera and
Liza Minnelli in Cabaret; Mr. Norris, the improbable old debauchee
mysteriously caught between the Nazis and the Communists; plump
Fraulein Schroeder, who thinks an operation to reduce the scale of
her Buste might relieve her heart palpitations; and the
distinguished and doomed Jewish family, the Landauers."
