Opis: Mr Norris Changes Trains - Christopher Isherwood

On a train to Berlin in late 1930, William Bradshaw locks eyes with Arthur Norris.
This chance encounter ignites a close friendship between the two Englishmen, one that draws Bradshaw into the seedier quarters of the city. Here Norris runs a dubious import–export business and lives in excited fear of his bullying secretary, his creditors and his dominatrix girlfriend, Anni. Yet there is something mildly sinister about Norris himself. Bradshaw’s new companion is a man of contradictions: heavily in debt but extraordinarily lavish, excessively polite but sexually deviant. Ultimately, Norris is a man who can’t outrun his secrets.
