First published in the 1930s, The Berlin Stories contains two novels, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin. Classics of modern fiction, these novellas capture 1931 Berlin—charming, grotesque, and dangerous, as Hitler was ascending to power. The Berlin Stories is inhabited by a wealth of characters, in particular the nightclub performer Sally Bowles, whose misadventures were popularized on stage and screen in I Am a Camera and Cabaret.

Ein melancholischer Abgesang auf eine verlorene Welt: Kosmopolitisch, libertin, glamourös und dekadent - mit fotografischer Präzision erfasst Christopher Isherwood die letzten Tage der Weimarer Republik in Berlin und zeichnet unvergessliche Porträts der Menschen, die seinen Weg kreuzen und unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Zwei junge Männer, die in fataler Weise voneinander abhängen, eine vermögende jüdische Familie, die das nahende Unglück nicht wahrhaben will, und zahlreiche Mitglieder der Halbwelt, unter ihnen die hinreißend leichtsinnige Sally Bowles, die in der Literatur ihresgleichen sucht.

The Slice is Right is a golf podcast hosted by Jack (a scratch player with a love for links golf) and Ross (a pro who still manages the odd shank). Each episode follows the pair as they travel around Scotland and beyond, playing new courses, meeting brilliant and bizarre characters, and talking all things golf — from course reviews and local stories to gear chat and on-the-road banter. It’s part golf show, part travel diary, and part excuse to escape real life for another round. If you love the game but don’t take it too seriously, grab your clubs — you’re in the right place.

After the EMP, the land rush is on. Food. Supplies. People. It will all be claimed. Frank survived one expedition out into the world, but he'll need to do it many more times if he wants his people to survive. He starts by searching for another of the rare working vehicles still on the road. More cars mean more supplies. Every trip out comes with risks. He soon finds abandoned military roadblocks, competing bands of survivors, and average people getting ever more desperate.

Frank has been able to guide his neighborhood watch along a narrow path between order and chaos, but most of his problems have been caused by people. Now, as the clouds darken over the Gulf of Mexico, Mother Nature is going to take a crack at him. The arrival of the storm has only one benefit; Frank can travel the empty roads and get things done. Using his newest off-road vehicle, a Mercedes Unimog 416, he probes North Pointe to find some missing allies. He also discovers new enemies in a troubled trailer park.

After the EMP, Frank controls one street. A whole city surrounds him. Frank gets his people through the critical first days of the EMP disaster, but he knows his next choice could determine their fate months or even years down the road . . . Search for help using their bikes? Ally with strangers two blocks over? Turtle up and hunker down for the long haul? He discovers another option inside his neighbor's garage: an ancient hot rod, immune to the effects of an EMP, is there for the taking.

One second was all it took to erase Frank's dreams. New home. New car. New retirement. Stolen by the EMP. It gets worse. Frank's neighbors failed to prepare at all, so it falls on him to keep them alive. He starts easy: stockpile food, water, and guns. Disaster lessons he'd picked up reading books about the end of the world.

A podcast about the wonders, weirdness, (and sometimes woes) of academia. In each episode Professors Kurt Andresen and Ian Isherwood bring in a guest from academia and ask them questions about their passions, quiz them about their subjects, talk about their sartorial predilections, and have them try brand new cocktails based on their academic interests. The Ivory Tower may be crumbling, but we plan making the best of it as we rummage through the Ivory Attic.

Un giovane uomo, alter ego dell’autore, nel 1930 si trasferisce a Berlino per insegnare inglese. Sono gli ultimi anni della Repubblica di Weimar, poco prima dell’ascesa del Nazismo e su questo sfondo si muovono una serie di personaggi sopra le righe: artisti, intellettuali, borghesi, ricchi, poveri, folli. Tra cabaret e caffè, tra case signorili e squallide pensioni, tra file per il pane e manifestazioni di piazza, tra crisi economica, Isherwood ci consegna una purissima, scabra narrazione che ci ricorda come la Storia sia sempre contemporanea.
