- Leb wohl, Berlin (englischer Originaltitel Goodbye to Berlin) ist ein 1939 in der Hogarth Press erschienener Roman von Christopher Isherwood (1904–1986). Das Buch trägt eine Widmung für John und Beatrix Lehmann. Isherwoods Vorwort datiert von 1935, in dem er darauf hinweist, welche Teile des Buches bereits von Lehmann sowie bei Penguin oder bei Hogarth veröffentlicht wurden. Das Buch war die Vorlage, nach der in den 1960er Jahren das Musical Cabaret entstand. Der kurze Roman wird häufig gemeinsam mit dem Roman Mr. Norris steigt um unter dem Titel „The Berlin Stories“ veröffentlicht. Das Magazin Time zählte die Berlin Stories zu den besten 100 englischsprachigen Romanen, die zwischen 1923 und 2005 veröffentlicht wurden und begründet dies damit, dass diese zwei kurzen Romane perfekte Schnappschüsse des Berlin der 1930er Jahre seien, wo ausgelassene Auswanderer immer intensiver tanzen und feiern, als würde sie dies vom heraufziehenden Nationalsozialismus schützen. Die britische Zeitung The Guardian nahm die Erzählung in die Liste der 1000 Romane auf, die jeder gelesen haben muss. (de)
- Goodbye to Berlin is a 1939 novel by Anglo-American writer Christopher Isherwood set during the waning days of the Weimar Republic. The novel recounts Isherwood's 1929–1932 sojourn as a pleasure-seeking British expatriate on the eve of Adolf Hitler's ascension as Chancellor of Germany and consists of a "series of sketches of disintegrating Berlin, its slums and nightclubs and comfortable villas, its odd maladapted types and its complacent burghers." The novel's plot recounts factual events in Isherwood's life, and most of the novel's characters were based upon actual persons. The insouciant flapper Sally Bowles was based on teenage cabaret singer Jean Ross who became Isherwood's intimate friend during his sojourn and, after an unplanned pregnancy, she had a near-fatal abortion which the shy gay author facilitated. While Ross recovered from the abortion procedure, the political situation rapidly deteriorated in Germany. As Berlin's daily scenes featured "poverty, unemployment, political demonstrations and street fighting between the forces of the extreme left and the extreme right," Isherwood realised that he must flee the country. Following the Enabling Act which cemented Hitler's power, Isherwood fled Germany and returned to England. Afterwards, Berlin's seedy cabarets were shuttered by the Nazis, and many of Isherwood's cabaret friends fled abroad or perished in concentration camps. These factual events served as the genesis for Isherwood's Berlin stories. The novel received positive reviews by newspaper critics and contemporary writers. Critic Anne Margaret Angus praised Isherwood's literary mastery in conveying the ingravescent despair of Berlin's denizens and "their hopeless clinging to the pleasures of the moment". She believed Isherwood skillfully evoked "the psychological and emotional hotbed which forced the growth of that incredible tree, 'national socialism'." George Orwell hailed the novel for its "brilliant sketches of a society in decay". "Reading such tales as this," Orwell wrote, "the thing that surprises one is not that Hitler came to power, but that he did not do so several years earlier." The 1939 novel was republished together with Isherwood's 1935 novel, Mr Norris Changes Trains, in a 1945 collection titled The Berlin Stories. Literary critics praised the collection as deftly capturing the bleak nihilism of the Weimar period. In 2010, Time magazine hailed the collection as one of the 100 Best English-language novels of the 20th century. Goodbye to Berlin was adapted into the 1951 Broadway play I Am a Camera, the 1966 musical Cabaret, and the 1972 film of the same name. According to critics, the novel's character Sally Bowles purportedly inspired Truman Capote's character Holly Golightly in his 1958 novella Breakfast at Tiffany's. (en)

- Frl. Schroeder [the landlady] is consolable... It's no use trying to explain to her, or talking politics. Already she is adapting herself, as she will adapt herself to every new regime. This morning I even heard her talking reverently about 'Der Fuhrer'... If anybody were to remind her that, at the elections last November, she voted Communist, she would probably deny it... Thousands of people like Frl. Schroeder are acclimatising themselves. (en)
- I thought of Natalia: she has escaped—none too soon, perhaps. However often the decision may be delayed, all these people are ultimately doomed. This evening is the dress-rehearsal of a disaster. It is like the last night of an epoch. (en)
- [Jean Ross] never liked Goodbye to Berlin, nor felt any sense of identity with the character of Sally Bowles ... She never cared enough, however, to be moved to any public rebuttal. She did from time to time settle down conscientiously to write a letter, intending to explain to Isherwood the ways in which she thought he had misunderstood her; but it seldom progressed beyond 'Dear Christopher ...' It was interrupted, no doubt, by more urgent things: meetings about Vietnam, petitions against nuclear weapons, making my supper, hearing my French verbs. It was in Isherwood's life, not hers, that Sally Bowles remained a significant figure. (en)
