Goodbye to Berlin is a short novel by Christopher Isherwood. It is often published together with The Last of Mr. Norris in a collection called The Berlin Stories.
The novel, a semiautobiographical account of Isherwood's time in 1930s Berlin, describes pre-Nazi Germany and the people he met.
Moving to Germany to work on his novel, Isherwood soon becomes involved with many different German citizens: The caring landlady, Frau. Shroeder; the "divinely decadent" Sally Bowles, a young English woman who sings in the local Cabaret; Natalia Laundauer, the rich, Jewish heiress of a prosperous family business; Peter and Otto, a couple struggling to accept their relationship in light of the rise of the Nazis.
The book, first published in 1939, ironically highlights the groups of people who would be most at risk from Nazi intimidation.
Born Aug. 26, 1904, High Lane, Cheshire, Eng. — died Jan. 4, 1986, Santa Monica, Calif., U.S. British-born U.S. writer.
Educated at Cambridge University, he became close friends with W.H. Auden, with whom he traveled and collaborated on three verse dramas, including The Ascent of F6 (1936). He lived in Berlin from 1929 to 1933; his two novels about this period, later published together as The Berlin Stories (1946), inspired the play I Am a Camera (1951; film, 1955) and the musical Cabaret (1966; film, 1972). A pacifist, he moved to southern California at the beginning of World War II, where he taught and wrote screenplays. A follower of Swami Prabhavananda, he wrote and translated works on Indian Vedanta.
Love how he describes these fascinating characters in the book.esp. the mysterious jew. and the way he involves himself with all the people and the surrounding is just too good to be true
评分要再看一遍!
评分进度1/3还是觉得无聊 不读了 not for me
评分finally finished this reading assignment from the year 2012. "Reading this novel is much like overhearing anecdotes in a crowded bar while history knocks impatiently at the windows" - Guardian
评分"But no,it wasn't love either-it was worse.It was the cheapest,most childish kind of wounded vanity."
对伊舍伍德有所了解,是在读了他与奥登合著的那本《战地行记》之后。上世纪30年代,卢沟桥事变引发中国全面抗战,伊舍伍德携手好友奥登来到中国作了5个月的战地旅行,合作写下了《战地行纪》,真实地记录了中国人民遭遇的战争苦难与不屈的民族精神,充满人道主义的情怀。伊舍伍...
评分断断续续的用一个月看完这本书,幸好书的篇章不是太长和前后章节的逻辑性不是太强,不然像我每次重新看一个章节都会忘记主人公叫什么名字的人来说,绝对坚持不下来。不知道是不是人老了集中力衰退,以前看《百年孤独》,看一个月都不觉得累,现在看个两三页就情不自禁地翻后面...
评分 评分(补记,于2018年1月读毕,感谢那时写过详细的长评,使书中动人的情节今日依旧历历在目) 有人说伊舍伍德的小说无聊。怎么会无聊?明明很有聊——前提是,你有一定的文学阅读基础,能让他的小说与许多作品发展出千丝万缕的联系。此中乐趣,不足为外人道也。 《别了,柏林》是六...
