Cover art for the paperback Goodbye to Berlin by James Avati 1952... No longer subject to copyright...:heart:
Goodbye to Berlin is a 1939 novel by Anglo-American writer Christopher Isherwood set during the waning days of the Weimar Republic. The novel recounts Isherwood's 1929–1932 sojourn as a pleasure-seeking British expatriate in poverty-stricken Berlin during the twilight of the Jazz Age. Much of the novel's plot recounts actual events in Isherwood's life, and most of the novel's characters were based upon actual persons. The insouciant flapper Sally Bowles was based on teenage cabaret singer Jean Ross who became Isherwood's intimate friend during his sojourn and, after an unplanned pregnancy, had a near-fatal abortion which the author facilitated.

The 1939 novel was later republished together with Isherwood's 1935 novel, Mr Norris Changes Trains, in a 1945 collection entitled The Berlin Stories. The work was praised by literary critics as deftly capturing the bleak nihilism of the Weimar period. In 2010, the collection was chosen as one of the Time 100 Best English-language novels of the 20th century. It was adapted into the 1951 Broadway play I Am a Camera by John Van Druten and, later, the 1966 Cabaret musical and the 1972 film.
