In 1938 the legendary Hogarth Press published the first of Christopher Isherwood's autobiographical writings, LIONS AND SHADOWS. The book evokes the atmosphere of Cambridge as Isherwood knew it and describes his life as a tutor, a medical student, and a struggling writer. Above all, LIONS AND SHADOWS is a captivating account of a young novelist's development in the literary culture of 1920s Cambridge and London and of his experiences as he forged lifelong friendships with his peers W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and Edward Upward.
"The writing is, as always, very clear, very moving and, sometimes, very funny." [The Times]
