''The Berlin Stories'' is a book consisting of two short novels by Christopher Isherwood: ''Goodbye to Berlin'' and ''Mr Norris Changes Trains''. It was published in 1945. ''The Berlin Stories'' was chosen as one of the ''Time'' 100 Best English-language novels of the 20th century. == Plot == The two novellas are set in Berlin in 1931, just as Adolf Hitler was moving into power. Berlin is portrayed by Isherwood during this transition period of cafes and quaint avenues, grotesque nightlife and dreamers, and powerful mobs and millionaires. ''The Berlin Stories'' was the starting point for the John Van Druten play ''I Am a Camera'', which in turn went on to inspire the film ''I Am a Camera'' as well as the stage musical and film versions of ''Cabaret''. The character Sally Bowles is probably the best-known character from ''The Berlin Stories'' because of her later starring role in the Cabaret musical and film, although in ''The Berlin Stories'', she is only the main character of one short story in ''Goodbye to Berlin''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Berlin Stories」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
