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.

读后感

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...  

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...

山雨欲来风满楼的柏林

Cabaret电影版拍得真好, 当然也多亏了John Kander的音乐，剧情改编不少，不过每次看书里写到Sally说my darling时Liza的脸就浮现在眼前，形象和气质都太像了。

鲜活而残忍的魏玛德国浮世绘，宛如巴比伦柏林
