Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904. He began to write at university and later moved to Berlin, where he gave English lessons to support himself. He witnessed first hand the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany and some of his best works, such as Mr. Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, draw on these experiences. He created the character of Sally Bowles, later made famous as the heroine of the musical Cabaret. Isherwood travelled with W.H Auden to China in the late 1930s before going with him to America in 1939. He died on 4 January 1986.
In this brilliantly perceptive novel, a middle aged professor living in California, is alienated from his students by differences in age and nationality, and from the rest of society by his homosexuality. Isherwood explores the depths of the human soul and its ability to triumph over loneliness, alienation and loss.

评分与电影不尽相同,觉得还是电影棒~
评分优美的惆怅
评分多次差点放弃,总是提不起来兴趣,主角的絮叨总令我昏昏欲睡,【我确实也睡了五六页的样子】在电影OST的帮助下,终于听完了
评分"The past is just something that's over." As George said so, he still cannot forget Jim. But he had to move forward with sadness and solitude. It was hard and frustrating.
