Prater Violet resembles episodes in Goodbye to Berlin and keeps up the same high level of excellence' - Edmund Wilson\nAn impatient phone call from the temperamental Austrian director, Friedrich Bergmann, introduces a young Christopher Isherwood to the film industry. Isherwood's job is to rescue the script of an idiotic love story set in nineteenth-century Vienna, a film called Prater Violet. In the real Vienna of 1934 the Austrian Right crushes a socialist uprising. Bergmann is distraught and his prophecy of the coming war goes unheeded. As tensions on set grow, studio intrigues and competing egos threaten to derail the whole project.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68210998509856,"sku":"9780099561132","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780099561132_69570.jpg?v=1794260476","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/prater-violet-christopher-isherwood-9780099561132","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
