«La caída del Museo Británico» is the satirical novel by David Lodge, published by Quinteto in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Adam Appleby, a young Catholic researcher, prepares his thesis in the British Museum library while he and his wife Barbara await a possible fourth child. With irony, Lodge portrays academic life, the moral restrictions of Catholicism and the sexual mores of the era.
The original edition appeared in 1965 under the title «The British Museum Is Falling Down»; this Spanish edition belongs to the Quinteto collection.
For readers who enjoy comedy of manners, university satire and twentieth-century British fiction.
David John Lodge was an English novelist and critic. He was a literature professor at the University of Birmingham until 1987, and some of his novels satirise academic life, notably the "Campus Trilogy" – Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses (1975), Small World: An Academic Romance (1984) and Nice Work (1988). The latter two were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Another theme is Roman Catholicism, beginning from his first published novel The Picturegoers (1960).
