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...

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.
在自己goodbye to Beijing的时候读来很带感
评分又是以一个aloof的旁观者角度来记录一切
评分几乎是不带任何感情色彩,不带任何involvement感觉的描写30年代初的柏林,一个马上就要(再一次)成为历史漩涡核心的大城市普通人们的百态。就像作者自己说的,自己只不过是相机镜头,纯粹纪录而已。镜头一流,但是还有哪个城市能比柏林提供更好的素材呢
评分A reminiscence of pre-war Berlin, with strikingly good people sketches and a hint of sadness running underneath.
评分a society in decay... 因为无法阻止衰落的脚步,在茫然带来的恐惧中喘着最后的几口气,这个过程之漫长让人学会了习惯一切,就像Frl. Schroeder一样蜷缩在小公寓里也不得不做起了家务
