dbo:abstract
  • Mr. Norris steigt um (britischer Originaltitel Mr Norris Changes Trains, in den USA veröffentlicht als The Last of Mr. Norris) ist ein 1935 erschienener Roman des britischen Schriftstellers Christopher Isherwood. Der kurze Roman wird häufig gemeinsam mit dem Roman Leb wohl, Berlin als „The Berlin Stories“ publiziert. Beide Romane waren die Vorlage für das in den 1960er Jahren entstandene Musical Cabaret. Time zählte diese „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 vor dem heraufziehenden Nationalsozialismus schützen. Die britische Zeitung The Guardian nahm die Erzählung in die Liste der 1000 Romane auf, die jeder gelesen haben muss. Isherwood bezeichnete in den 1950er Jahren seinen Roman dagegen als eine herzlose Märchengeschichte, weil er das Leid der Personen um ihn herum nicht konkret begriffen habe. Mr. Norris steigt um basiert auf den Eindrücken von Isherwood, der zu Beginn der 1930er Jahre in Berlin lebte und Zeuge des Aufstiegs Hitlers wurde. Die Figur des Mr. Norris basiert auf dem Schriftsteller , die Figur des Kommunistenführers Ludwig Bayer auf dem deutschen Politiker, Verleger und Filmproduzenten Willi Münzenberg. (de)

In 1985 the actor David March won a Radio Academy Award for Best Radio Actor for his performance in a dramatisation of the novel for BBC Radio 4. Isherwood began work on a much larger work he called The Lost before paring down its story and characters to focus on Norris. The book was critically and popularly acclaimed but years after its publication Isherwood denounced it as shallow and dishonest. (en)
  • Mr Norris se ne va, pubblicato negli USA come The Last of Mr. Norris è un romanzo pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1935 dello scrittore britannico Christopher Isherwood. Viene spesso considerato l'antefatto diretto di Addio a Berlino, di cui costituisce un dittico conosciuto come "Le storie di Berlino". L'ispirazione primaria per la storia è stata data ad Isherwood dalla sua esperienza come espatriato temporaneo residente nella città di Berlino durante i primi anni '30, mentre il personaggio del signor Norris si basa sulla reale persona del critico e memorialista . Lo scrittore aveva iniziato a lavorare su un'opera di molto più ampio respiro chiamata provvisoriamente "The Lost" prima di togliervi i personaggi e la trama che poi costituiranno Mr Norris. (it)
