In between Morris West and Christopher Isherwood who's  best-known works is "The Berlin Stories" (1935-39)?
Christopher Isherwood Christopher William Bradshaw Isherwood (26 August 1904 – 4 January 1986) was an English-American novelist. His best-known works include "The Berlin Stories" (1935-39), two semi-autobiographical novellas inspired by Isherwood's time in Weimar Republic Germany. These enhanced his postwar reputation when they were adapted first into the play "I Am a Camera" (1951), then the 1955 film of the same name, "I Am a Camera (film)"; much later (1966) into the bravura stage musical "Cabaret (musical)" which was acclaimed on Broadway, its unsparing stance being substantially sweetened for the film "Cabaret" (1972). His novel "A Single Man" was published in 1964.
Isaac Babel Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel (Russian: Исаа́к Эммануи́лович Ба́бель ; ] ; 13 July [O.S. 1 July] 1894 – 27 January 1940) was a Russian language journalist, playwright, literary translator, and short story writer. He is best known as the author of "Red Cavalry", "Story of My Dovecote", and "Tales of Odessa", all of which are considered masterpieces of Russian literature. Babel has also been acclaimed as "the greatest prose writer of Russian Jewry". Loyal to, but not uncritical of, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Babel fell victim to Joseph Stalin's Great Purge as a result of his long-term affair with the wife of NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov. Babel was arrested by the NKVD at Peredelkino on the night of 15 May 1939. After confessing under interrogation to being a Trotskyist terrorist and foreign spy, he was shot on 27 January 1940.
