Sobre este libro

Two Americans inherit a Swiss chalet with a housekeeper, a cow and a pair of Bolshevik agents in the neighbourhood, in wartime Switzerland. Chambers wrote it in 1918 as a farce and let the politics stay just visible behind the comedy. The joke is that everyone in the house is pretending to be someone else and only the cook is telling the truth. Fifty-eight plates of Swiss lakes, Alps and market squares, from Hodler to Loutherbourg, keep the country itself in view while the household keeps up its pretenses.
