VINTAGE CLASSICS GOODBYE TO BERLIN - CHRISTOP...

'Brilliant sketches of a society in decay' George Orwell Christopher Isherwood is the narrator
of Goodbye to Berlin. His story obliquely evokes the gathering storm during the rise to power
of the Nazis  as seen through the eyes of a series of individuals: his landlady Fräulein
Schroeder  Sally Bowles  the English upper-class waif  the Nowaks  a struggling working-class
family  and the Landauers  a wealthy  civilised family of Jewish store owners  whose lives are
about to be ruined. Wry  detached  impressionistic in approach  yet vividly eloquent about the
brutal effect of public events on private lives  Goodbye to Berlin has long been recognised as
one of the most powerful and popular novels of the twentieth century.
