Un Anglais sous les tropiques es una novela del autor británico William Boyd, publicada en 1981. La historia sigue a Morgan Leafy, un modesto funcionario británico destinado en el ficticio país africano de Kinjanja, durante la época colonial. La novela es una sátira mordaz sobre el colonialismo, la corrupción y las relaciones interpersonales en un entorno exótico y opresivo. Leafy se ve envuelto en una serie de situaciones cómicas y desastrosas mientras intenta ascender en la jerarquía social y mantener una relación amorosa con la hija de su superior. La trama está llena de humor negro y crítica social, explorando temas como el poder, la ambición y la decadencia moral en un contexto colonial.
William Andrew Murray Boyd is a British novelist, short story writer screenwriter and film director. He is best known for his novels, which include A Good Man in Africa (1981), Any Human Heart (2002), and Restless (2006), many of which have received critical acclaim and literary awards. Boyd has also written screenplays for film and television, including Chaplin (1992), and directed the World War I drama The Trench (1999). His work is characterised by its narrative vitality and range, earning him numerous accolades including the Whitbread First Novel Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Costa Book Award. A number of his works are what he describes as "whole-life" novels which follow a protagonist through the highs and lows of a varied and often remarkable life. He regularly fuses fact with fiction and his lead characters encounter well-known historical figures. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for services to literature. John Self, writing for The Booker Prizes, described Boyd’s work as “vigorous, entertaining novels” produced by an “exceptionally fertile imagination,” and praised his fiction as “fully committed to his stories and characters.”
