(London: The Hogarth Press, 1935).

FIRST EDITION AND A BOOK WHICH WAS A POPULAR AND CRITICAL SUCCESS DURING PUBLICATION. "Mr. Isherwood has written a brilliant successor to The Memorial. His hero, Mr. Arthur Norris, once modestly described himself as a gentleman. There were others who did not agree with him. This candid but affectionate portrait, by one who came to know him only too well, is concerned with a single episode in his sensational career. its background is the Berlin of 193-33 a city of prostitutes and political gunmen, on the edge of starvation and civil war. And its minor characters, Frl. Schroeder and the sinister Schmidt, Olga the procuress and Otto the boxer, the Communist leader and the baron, are all typical of that extraordinary epoch."
