Goodbye to Berlin is a 1939 novel by Anglo-American writer Christopher Isherwoodset during the waning days of the Weimar Republic.
The novel recounts Isherwood's 1929–1932 sojourn as a pleasure-seeking British expatriate on the eve of Adolf Hitler's ascension as Chancellor of Germany and consists of a "series of sketches of disintegrating Berlin, its slums and nightclubs and comfortable villas, its odd maladapted types and its complacent burghers"
The plot was based on factual events in Isherwood's life, and 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 friend during his sojourn.
Eventually formed the basis of films like "I am a Camera" and "Cabaret"
Illustrated by German post WW1 artists George Grosz.
