Christopher and His Kind

English

By (author): Christopher Isherwood

In November 1929, Christopher Isherwood - determined to become a 'permanent foreigner' - packed a rucksack and two suitcases and left England on a one-way ticket for Berlin. With incredible candour and wit, Isherwood recalls the decadence of Berlin's night scene and his route to sexual liberation. As the Nazis rise to power, Isherwood describes his dramatic struggle to save his partner Heinz from persecution. See more

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.
