Description
Christopher Isherwood's memoir of his experiences in 1930s Berlin is a candid and witty account of his journey to sexual liberation. In November 1929, he left England with a one-way ticket for Germany, determined to become a 'permanent foreigner'. As the Nazis rose to power, Isherwood recounts his dramatic struggle to save his partner from persecution. Isherwood's memoir is a powerful and moving portrayal of life in pre-war Berlin, where the decadence of the night scene was matched by the rising threat of Nazism. With remarkable candour, he describes his experiences as a gay man in a rapidly changing world. This book offers a unique insight into one of the most pivotal periods in modern history, and Isherwood's own story is both deeply personal and profoundly historical.
