内容简介
Longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction
'I embarrassed myself by uncontrollable guffaws ... This is a truly wonderful story' A. N. Wilson, Spectator
'A white-knuckle roller-coaster ride of fibs and frauds' Sunday Telegraph
'An utterly mad, and wholly delightful story of chicanery and fantasy' Simon Winchester
One day in November 1958, the celebrated historian Hugh Trevor-Roper received a curious letter. It was an appeal for help, written on behalf of a student at Magdalen College, with the unlikely claim that he was being persecuted by the Bishop of Oxford. Curiosity piqued, Trevor-Roper agreed to a meeting. It was to be his first encounter with Robert Parkin Peters: plagiarist, bigamist, fraudulent priest and imposter extraordinaire. The Professor and the Parson traces the strange career of one of Britain's most eccentric criminals. Motivated not by money but by a desire for prestige, Peters' lied, stole and cheated his way to academic positions and religious posts from Cambridge to New York, Singapore and South Africa. Frequently deported, and even more frequently discovered, his trail of destruction included seven marriages (three of which were bigamous), an investigation by the FBI and a disastrous appearance on Mastermind.
Based on Trevor-Roper's own detailed 'file on Peters', The Professor and the Parson is a witty and charming account of eccentricity, extraordinary narcissism and a life as wild and unlikely as any in fiction.

“我被无法控制的恶魔尴尬了……这真是一个绝妙的故事”，安·威尔逊，旁观者，
“一条摆弄和欺诈的白指过山车”，《星期日电讯报》疯狂而完全令人愉悦的骗术和幻想故事'西蒙·温彻斯特（Simon Winchester）
1958年11月的一天，著名的历史学家休·特雷弗·罗珀（Hugh Trevor-Roper）收到一封奇怪的信。代表玛格达琳学院的一名学生写的求助信，不太可能是他被牛津主教逼迫的。出于好奇，特雷弗-罗珀（Trevor-Roper）同意开会。这是他与罗伯特·帕金·彼得斯的第一次交往：抄袭，重婚，欺诈的牧师和冒名顶替者。教授和教区牧师追溯了英国最古怪的罪犯之一的奇怪职业。彼得斯的动机并非出于金钱，而是出于对名望的渴望，他撒谎，偷窃并欺骗了从剑桥到纽约，新加坡和南非的学术职位和*教职位。经常被驱逐，甚至更经常被发现，
基于特雷弗·罗珀（Trevor-Roper）自己详尽的“彼得档案”，《教授与牧师》巧妙而迷人地讲述了古怪，自恋和自以为是的生活。
