Beschreibung

In 1929, Christopher Isherwood leaves England on a one-way ticket to Berlin.

He is determined to become a permanent foreigner, to lose himself - and discover his sexuality - in the boy bars of Berlin. The next ten years will be the most memorable of Isherwood's life. With incredible candour and wit, Isherwood depicts the decadence of the city's night scene and his route to sexual liberation. Yet something dark looms on the horizon. As the Nazis rise to power, Isherwood recounts his dramatic struggle to save his partner Heinz from persecution.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY GORE VIDAL

'A truly masterly writer' New York Times

'A brilliant literary memoir' Gore Vidal

'Isherwood at his best' New Statesman

Über den Autor

Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) was one of the most celebrated writers of his generation. He left Cambridge without graduating, briefly studied medicine and then turned to writing his first novels, All the Conspirators and The Memorial. Between 1929 and 1939 he lived mainly abroad, spending four years in Berlin and writing the novels Mr Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin on which the musical Cabaret was based. He moved to America in 1939, becoming a US citizen in 1946, and wrote another five novels, including Down There on a Visit and A Single Man, a travel book about South America and a biography of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna. In the late 1960s and '70s he turned to autobiographical works: Kathleen and Frank, Christopher and His Kind, My Guru and His Disciple and October, one month of his diary with drawings by Don Bachardy.
