Description
Opening a window into the most fascinating and, in many ways, most mysterious period in Christopher Isherwood's life, this book collects more than one hundred previously unpublished letters the young author wrote to his mother between 1935 and 1940. Composed while he was still a struggling writer, they offer a brilliant eyewitness account of Europe on the brink of war and an intimate look at the early career of a major literary figure.
