Goodbye to Berlin. First edition, first impression.Widely accepted as Isherwood's masterpiece, this collection of six pieces was chosen by Cyril Connolly as one of his 100 key books within The Modern Movement. Connolly notes that "Berlin under the emergent Nazis provided a stiffening of tragedy here shown in his moving story 'The Nowaks', in the two remarkable Berlin diaries, with 'Sally Bowles' for comic relief".The short story "Sally Bowles" would form the basis for Kander and Ebb's 1966 musical Cabaret, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical and was adapted into a film version in 1972, directed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minnelli.
