GOODBYE TO BERLIN (VINTAGE DECO) (PB)

Drawn loosely from life, these stories – memorably adapted into the musical Cabaret - evoke the glamour, sleaze, excess and repression of Berlin society in the 1920s. Isherwood shows the lives of people under threat from the rise of the Nazis: a wealthy Jewish heiress, Natalia Landauer; a gay couple, Peter and Otto; and an English upper-class waif, the divinely decadent Sally Bowles. Vintage Deco celebrates key novels of the 1920s, a hundred years on.
