Summary

Christopher Isherwood: Goodbye to Berlin

Goodbye to Berlin is the best-known novel and the first translation into Croatian of a work by an excellent, relatively little-known writer in our country, Christopher Isherwood. The novel is composed of six stories, which the author characterized as a "loosely connected series of diary notes and sketches", and was first published in 1939. In 1951, it served as a template for the Broadway play I am a Camera and the film of the same name (1955), and became more famous in 1966, when the Broadway musical Cabaret was based on them, and gained true fame in 1972 after of Bob Fosse's anthology film starring Liza Minelli. The truth is, in these conversions and versions, a good part of the original was "lost", so in Goodbye Berlin you can come across the germs of legendary scenes from Cabaret, but that's why you can certainly come across - top-notch literature.
This powerful prose work, on the border between novel and memoir, is a true child of its time; it is a kind of reminiscence of the author's experiences gained in decadent Berlin in the 20s and 30s, at the time of the rise of Nazism. As a clear contrast to the impending cataclysm, Isherwood poetically, passively and calmly, yet extremely humane, portrays a lively and vital atmosphere among people while around them, in one of the turning points in the history of mankind, everything humane is suffocating and collapsing. A great work by a great author!
