SYNOPSIS
Two Englishmen meeting on a train to Berlin in 1930 kick off one of Isherwood’s most enduring novels
On a train to Berlin in late 1930, William Bradshaw locks eyes with Arthur Norris, an irresistibly comical fellow Englishman wearing a rather obvious wig and nervous about producing his passport at the frontier. So begins a friendship conducted in the seedier quarters of the city, where Norris runs a dubious import-export business and lives in excited fear of his bullying secretary,his creditors, and his dominatrix girlfriend, Anni. As the worldwide economic Depression strangles the masses and the Communists make a desperate stand against Fascism and war, Norris sells himself as political orator, spy, and double agent. He also sells his friends. Like its companion novel, Goodbye to Berlin, Mr Norris Changes Trains offers unforgettable characters struggling in the vortex as the Nazis rise to power.DETAILS

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christopher Isherwood
Christopher Isherwood, Cheshire em 1904-1986. Começou a escrever nos tempos da faculdade e a sua prolífica obra desenvolveu-se em vários géneros: romance, conto, relato de viagem e teatro. Mudou-se ainda jovem para Berlim, onde se sustentava ensinando inglês. Na Alemanha, assistiu de perto à ascensão de Hitler, e alguns dos seus romances reflectem essa experiência - por exemplo Adeus a Berlim, com a célebre adaptação ao cinema no musical Cabaré. No fim dos anos 1930, viajou pela China com W.H. Auden, após o que se radicou nos EUA. Aí, nos anos 1960, durante uma fase crítica da relação com Don Bachardy - o homem com quem viveu mais de vinte anos -, Christopher Isherwood escreveu este romance breve e poderoso, Um Homem Singular, com que a Quetzal inicia a publicação das suas obras.
