“In the halls of academe, a setting fraught with ego-driven battles for power and prestige [Alexander McCall Smith] has rendered yet another one-of-a-kind character: the bumbling but brilliant Dr. Mortiz-Maria von Igelfeld…[a] deftly rendered trilogy [with] endearingly eccentric characters.”
Chicago Sun-Times
From New York Times bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith, creator of the phenomenally popular No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency novels and winner of the inaugural Saga Award for Wit, comes the first wonderfully entertaining novel starring Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, distinguished philologist—and frequently inept human.
Von Igelfeld is the world’s leading scholar on Portuguese irregular verbs, having written a majestic, nearly 1,200-page book on the subject. As one review says, “There is nothing more to be said on this subject. Nothing.” But in other matters, von Igelfeld is not nearly so skilled. Whether haplessly playing tennis against an equally dreadful opponent, or committing his friends to sword-fighting duels without their knowledge, von Igelfeld is somewhat naive in the ways of the world. Yet that does not stop him from having a go at life, and the results are always humorous.
If you enjoy sharp yet subtle wit, you cannot afford to miss Portuguese Irregular Verbs.
