His friends and colleagues during this time included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and E. M. Forster, as well as colorful figures he met in Germany and later fictionalized in his two Berlin novels--and who appeared again, fictionalized to an even greater degree, in\u003ci\u003e I Am a Camera\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCabaret\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat most impressed the first readers of this memoir, however, was the candor with which he describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, a German man named Heinz, from the Nazis. An engrossing and dramatic story and a fascinating glimpse into a little-known world, \u003ci\u003eChristopher and His Kind\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of Isherwood's greatest achievements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374535223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Isherwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132798173365,"sku":"9780374535223","price":22.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_91a363d5-8931-4fb3-9176-bda2482f6011.jpg?v=1695134247","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/christopher-and-his-kind-a-memoir-1929-1939-9780374535223","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
