by Anthony Thwaite (Introduction), D . J . Enright (Author)
This novel involves three expatriate Englishmen teaching in Egypt toward the end of King Farouk's glittering, corrupt reign. As a portrayal of English academics abroad, the book is full of sympathetic, humorous insights. In its evocation of a time and a place, it has never been bettered.
