Goodbye to Berlin

Set in the 1930s, Goodbye to Berlin evokes the glamour and sleaze, excess and repression of Berlin society. Isherwood shows the lives of people at threat from the rise of the Nazis: a wealthy Jewish heiress, Natalia Landauer, a gay couple, Peter and Otto, and an English upper-class waif, the divinely decadent Sally Bowles.

Amplasat in anii 1930, Goodbye to Berlin evoca stralucirea si slabirea, excesul si represiunea societatii berlineze. Isherwood arata vietile oamenilor amenintati de ascensiunea nazistilor: o mostenitoare evreica bogata, Natalia Landauer, un cuplu gay, Peter si Otto, si o scapata engleza din clasa superioara, divina decadenta Sally Bowles.
