内容简介 在线阅读本书

When Phillip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp participate in their universities’ Anglo-American exchange scheme, the Fates play a hand, and each academic finds himself enmeshed in the life of his counterpart on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune to the exchange: students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as events spiral out of control. And soon both sun-drenched Euphoric State University and rain-kissed University of Rummidge are a hotbed of intrigue, lawlessness and broken vows… ‘Not since Lucky Jim has such a funny book about academic life come my way’ Sunday Times
作者简介 David Lodge has written many bestselling novels, including THINKS and NICE WORK. His books have sold well over a million copies in Penguin. Formerly Professor of English at Birmingham University, he now writes full-time. He continues to live in Birmingham.
编辑推荐 Amazon.com Review
Anyone intrigued by differences between American and British academic institutions will find this an amusing and accurate send-up. David Lodge, portraying two American and British professors who replace one another at their respective institutions, gives greed, pettiness, and pretense full rein. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Review
David Lodge's sharply funny trilogy set in academe toggles between the very American Euphoria State University and the utterly British University of Rummidge. -- Entertainment Weekly --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
