新書預告:Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood

Brilliant sketches of a society in decay
-George Orwell

"I am a camera with its shutter open." There is something unmistakably 20th Century about this, the opening line to Goodbye to Berlin. In their coolness and clarity and melancholy detachment these words express more about a moment in time than most entire novels do.
-ALL TIME 100 Novels
 
《A Single Man 摯愛無盡》原著作者最受推崇作品,芸芸眾生伴隨社會邁向沉淪,一窺納粹崛起前的柏林。《Goodbye to Berlin 》也曾被改編為東尼獎得獎音樂劇及同名電影《Cabaret》。
 
本書由劉霽編譯,預定2011年4月中旬出版
