George is heartbroken after the death of his lover. An English professor in suburban California, George must now adjust to a tragic new solitude in the sun. Beneath George's rigid British restraint, waves of sorrow and fury surge. He doggedly persists with the routines of his past life, heading out to work, to the gym, on again to dinner. Yet along the way, George rediscovers the unexpected pleasures of life and the soul's ability to triumph over loneliness and alienation. This short, poignant novel is a tender and wistful love story. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TOM FORD 'Lyrical and intensely moving' Daily Telegraph 'Widely recognised as his supreme achievement . . . a work of compressed brilliance' Guardian 'A virtuoso piece of work . . . powerful' Sunday Time

Övrig information

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.
