About the book

Christopher Isherwood's Mr Norris Changes Trains is set in Berlin during the politically unstable final years of the Weimar Republic. The narrator, William Bradshaw, befriends the eccentric and mysterious Arthur Norris, whose charm conceals a complicated life involving debts, questionable business activities and political intrigue. Through their friendship, Isherwood presents a vivid picture of Berlin as Nazism begins to rise. The novel combines humour and character comedy with an increasing sense of political danger, capturing a society moving toward profound and destructive change.
