After a chance encounter on a train the English teacher William Bradshaw starts a close friendship with the mildly sinister Arthur Norris. Norris is a man of contradictions; lavish but heavily in debt, excessively polite but sexually deviant. First published in 1933 Mr Norris Changes Trains piquantly evokes the atmosphere of Berlin during the rise of the Nazis.
Evokes the decadence, repression, glamour, and sleaze of Berlin in the early 1930s, depicting people at threat from the rise of the Nazis: Jewish heiress Natalia Laundauer, gay lovers Peter and Otto, and an English upper-class waif, the divinely decadent Sally Bowles
Includes Mr Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin , the inspiration for the stage and screen musical Cabaret . It is a haunting evocation of the gathering storm of the Nazi terror and a portrait of Bohemian Berlin - a city and a world on the very brink of ruin.
