«Adieu à Berlin» is the novel by Christopher Isherwood, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (254 pages, in French).
The book brings together sketches of interwar Berlin, on the eve of the rise of Nazism: a frivolous and decadent city, with cabaret artists, outcasts and expatriates. Chris, an English teacher who dreams of writing a great novel, befriends Sally Bowles, a nineteen-year-old singer who aspires to be a star.
The novel is the second installment of the series The Berlin Stories, and its original title is Goodbye to Berlin (1939).
It is intended for readers of twentieth-century classic fiction and stories set in interwar Berlin.
Christopher Isherwood was an English and American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, autobiographer, and diarist. His best-known works include Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel which was the basis for Cabaret (1966); A Single Man (1964), adapted into a film directed by Tom Ford in 2009; and Christopher and His Kind (1976), a memoir which "carried him into the heart of the Gay Liberation movement".
