'I'm the type which every man imagines he wants, until he gets me; and then he finds he doesn't really, after all' Goodbye to Berlin is the novella that inspired Cabaret , evoking the glamour and sleaze, excess and repression of Berlin society. Isherwood shows the lives of people under 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. VINTAGE DECO- Nine blazing, daring novels to celebrate the 1920s - 100 years on.
