In 1929, Christopher Isherwood leaves England on a one-way ticket to Berlin.He is determined to become a permanent foreigner, to lose himself – and discover his sexuality – in the boy bars of Berlin. The next ten years will be the most memorable of Isherwood’s life. With incredible candour and wit, Isherwood depicts the decadence of the city’s night scene and his route to sexual liberation. Yet something dark looms on the horizon. As the Nazis rise to power, Isherwood recounts his dramatic struggle to save his partner Heinz from persecution.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY GORE VIDAL‘A truly masterly writer’ New York Times ‘A brilliant literary memoir’ Gore Vidal‘Isherwood at his best’ New Statesman

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. His novel A Single Man was recently made into an award-winning film by Tom Ford, starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore.
