Description
A first Folio Society edition, first printing of Mr Norris Changes Trains by Christopher Isherwood, published by The Folio Society, London in 1990, introduction by Samuel Hynes, illustrations by Berul Cook. A very fine copy free from internal inscriptions, the text block bright and crisp. In a fine slipcase with light shelf-wear.
Mr Norris Changes Trains by Christopher Isherwood is one of his best-known early novels. Set in Berlin during the final years of the Weimar Republic, it follows the narrator, William Bradshaw, and the mysterious Arthur Norris, whose charm conceals a web of political intrigue and deception. Blending wit, satire and growing menace, the novel vividly captures a society on the brink of Nazi rule and remains a classic of twentieth-century English literature.
