Story
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.

Story
Ein melancholischer Abgesang auf eine verlorene Welt: Kosmopolitisch, libertin, glamourös und dekadent - mit fotografischer Präzision erfasst Christopher Isherwood die letzten Tage der Weimarer Republik in Berlin und zeichnet unvergessliche Porträts der Menschen, die seinen Weg kreuzen und unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Zwei junge Männer, die in fataler Weise voneinander abhängen, eine vermögende jüdische Familie, die das nahende Unglück nicht wahrhaben will, und zahlreiche Mitglieder der Halbwelt, unter ihnen die hinreißend leichtsinnige Sally Bowles, die in der Literatur ihresgleichen sucht.

Story
Isherwood's story centers on the production of the vacuous fictional melodrama Prater Violet, set in 19th-century Vienna, providing ironic counterpoint to tragic events as Hitler annexes the real Vienna of the 1930s. The novel features the vivid portraits of imperious, passionate, and witty Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann and his disciple, a genial young screenwriter: the fictionalized Christopher Isherwood.

Story
Un giovane uomo, alter ego dell’autore, nel 1930 si trasferisce a Berlino per insegnare inglese. Sono gli ultimi anni della Repubblica di Weimar, poco prima dell’ascesa del Nazismo e su questo sfondo si muovono una serie di personaggi sopra le righe: artisti, intellettuali, borghesi, ricchi, poveri, folli. Tra cabaret e caffè, tra case signorili e squallide pensioni, tra file per il pane e manifestazioni di piazza, tra crisi economica, Isherwood ci consegna una purissima, scabra narrazione che ci ricorda come la Storia sia sempre contemporanea.

Story
Jacob Ericson, a shy, enigmatic, and somewhat inept ranch hand learns that his hands possess the mysterious gift of healing: a gift he uses to cure animals and Sharon, the woman he adores. His gift is quickly exploited and the boundaries of his charm and naïveté begin to stretch. Following Sharon to Los Angeles, Jacob offers his healing powers for free at a church in Los Angeles, and then at a seedy stage show where his beloved Sharon also works.

Story
Arthur Norris colpisce immediatamente l'alter ego di Christopher Isherwood, il giovane William Bradshaw, che lo incontra nello scompartimento di un treno diretto in Germania. Col tempo Norris si rivelerà un avventuriero incline al misfatto e allo sperpero, un simpatizzante comunista che folleggia disinvolto nel basso ventre della Berlino dei primi anni Trenta. In pratica l'amico perfetto per William, approdato a Berlino per vivere una vacanza prolungata, lontana dalle costrizioni della famiglia. Finché, nell'inverno del 1933, il gioco inizierà a farsi troppo serio...

Story
Isherwood ci racconta una giornata nella vita di George, un professore inglese non più giovane che vive in California. Non è una giornata particolare per George: solo altre ventiquattr’ore senza Jim, il suo compagno morto in un incidente. Ventiquattr'ore fra il sospetto dei vicini, la consolante vicinanza di Charlotte, la rabbia contro i libri letti per una vita ma ormai inutili, e il desiderio di un corpo giovane appena intravisto ma che forse è già troppo tardi per toccare. Quanto basta per comporre un ritratto che non si può dimenticare.

Story
Die letzten Tage der Weimarer Republik in Berlin. Die Menschen verschließen die Augen vor der drohenden Katastrophe und feiern sich um den Verstand: zwei junge Männer, die in fataler Weise voneinander abhängen, eine vermögende jüdische Familie, die das nahende Unglück nicht wahrhaben will sowie zahlreiche Mitglieder der Halbwelt. Mitten unter ihnen träumt die hinreißend leichtsinnige Nachtclubsängerin Sally Bowles von der großen Karriere. Im Hintergrund der Szenerie marschieren bereits die Nazis auf.
