Christopher Isherwood is the narrator of Goodbye to Berlin. His story evokes the gathering storm in Berlin before and just after the rise to power of the Nazis, as seen through the eyes of a series of individuals: his landlady, Fräulein Schroeder; Sally Bowles, the English upper-class waif; the Nowaks, a struggling working-class family; and the Landauers, a wealthy family of Jewish store owners...
Goodbye to Berlin was adapted as the Academy Award-winning film Cabaret, starring Liza Minnelli and Michael York.
