Goodbye To Berlin

Here; meine Damen und Herren; is Chrisopther Isherwood's brilliant farewell to a city which was not only buildings; streets; and people; but was also a state of mind which will never come around again. In linked short stories; he says goodbye to Sally Bowles; to Fraulein Schroeder; to pranksters; perverts; political manipulators; to the very; very guilty and to the dwindling band of innocents. It is goodbye to a Berlin wild; wicked; breathtaking; decadent beyond belief and already - in the years between the wars - welcoming death in through the door; though more with a wink than a whimper.
