First published in 1933, 'Mr Norris Changes Trains' portrays a series of encounters in Berlin in the early thirties between the narrator, William Bradshaw, and the camp and mildly sinister Mr Norris. Piquantly evocative of the atmosphere in Berlin up to and after the accession of the Nazis to power, it is a novel that has achieved the status of a modern classic, combining a vivid portrayal of people and places with the forcefulness of an ironic political parable.
