Publisher's Summary

First published in the 1930s, The Berlin Stories contains two novels, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin. Classics of modern fiction, these novellas capture 1931 Berlin—charming, grotesque, and dangerous, as Hitler was ascending to power. The Berlin Stories is inhabited by a wealth of characters, in particular the nightclub performer Sally Bowles, whose misadventures were popularized on stage and screen in I Am a Camera and Cabaret.

Prelude

This book is a prelude to Hitler. Set in the 30’s, we meet ordinary (or, rather extraordinary) people of Berlin, their escapades and friendships, along with the undercurrents of the changing politics of their country. One is able to feel the shift from openness and freedom to suspicion and wariness. Then shocking things begin to happen. I like the way Isherwood paints the scene.
