Beschreibung

This is the story of Christopher Isherwood's parents - their meeting in 1895 marriage in 1903 after his father had returned from the Boer War and his father's death in an assault on Ypres in 1915 which left his mother a widow until her own death in 1960. As well as a family memoir it is a social history of a period of striking change and a portrait of the world which shaped Isherwood and which he rejected.

Über den Autor

Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904. He began to write at university and later moved to Berlin, where he gave English lessons to support himself. He witnessed first hand the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany and some of his best works, such as Mr. Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, draw on these experiences. He created the character of Sally Bowles, later made famous as the heroine of the musical Cabaret. Isherwood travelled with W.H Auden to China in the late 1930s before going with him to America in 1939. He died on 4 January 1986. His novel A Single Man was recently made into an award-winning film by Tom Ford, starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore.
