In 1939, as Europe approached war, Christopher Isherwood, author of the Berlin Novels, and an instinctive pacifist, travelled to California, seeking a new set of beliefs to replace what he felt were the failings of the Left-wing politics that he had known, There, he met Swami Prabhavananda, a Hindu monk, who would become his spiritual guide for the next 37 years. Late-night drinking sessions, free love, and glamour of writing for the Hollywood studios alternated with meditation, abstinence and the study of religious texts, in the author's fascinating record of his struggles between worldliness and holiness! This Edition features a new introduction by actor and author Simon Callow.
