«Lions and Shadows» is Christopher Isherwood's autobiography, published by Methuen in paperback (191 pages, in English).
Autobiographical account of Isherwood's formation as a writer: it recreates the intellectual atmosphere of Cambridge in the twenties and London bohemian life, with barely disguised portraits of Auden and Stephen Spender. It includes his time as a tutor in London high-society households.
Subtitled «An Education in the Twenties», it was originally published in 1938. This 1979 edition belongs to the Magnum Books series.
For readers of literary memoirs and for those who follow Isherwood or the Auden and Spender circle.
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".
