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.
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.
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...
评分谁都想要一个像伊殊伍德这样的好基友吧。一起玩,互相写明信片,谈论读了什么书,更新和男朋友的状况等等。 《再见柏林》里英国女孩莎莉鲍尔斯的故事后来发展出音乐剧Cabaret。伊殊伍德的角色被写进三角恋剧情。《再见柏林》虽然没提奥登和Stephen Spender,不过伊殊伍德跑去...

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...

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
评分鲜活而残忍的魏玛德国浮世绘,宛如巴比伦柏林
评分不同类别的人物如何用自己的方式对抗全社会不可察觉不可对抗的崩塌,以营造纪实感为主的语言亮点不多。在人类即将被历史车轮碾压的前一秒的年代,看着他们为一己微不足道又大过天的痛苦绞尽脑汁,真不知作什么滋味。
评分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。
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
