“Farewell, Berlin,” first published in 1939, is the most well -known work of Christopher Isherwood, whose widespread popularity was a lot of Bob Fuss with Lisa Minelli in the title role of the film “Cabaret”. This work is called a novel, but with the same success the book can be considered a conceptual collection of stories. Stories united by a common hero, time and place.
So, the hero is a poor young English writer. Time is a strange, unsteady, twilight era of the very beginning of the 1930s, shortly before the National Socialists came to power. And finally, the place is Berlin, the most bohemian of the megacities of pre -war Europe. Decadent, nervous Berlin jazz era. The city in which the fate of the bohemian girls are weaved in some unimaginable ball of very inconsistent customs, going crazy from the permissiveness of the rich, wealthy Jewish intellectuals and many, many other passengers of the Blessed Noah"s Ark, which will soon turn into a “Titanic”
