Trama
A deliciously entertaining new series by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency <br /><br />The many fans of Precious Ramotswe will find further cause for celebration in the protagonist of Alexander McCall Smith’s irresistibly funny trilogy, the eminent (if shamefully under-read) philologist Professor Dr. Mortiz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute at Regensburg. Unnaturally tall, hypersensitive to slights, and oblivious to his own frequent gaucheries, von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he knows is due him.<br /><br /><b>Portuguese Irregular Verbs</b> follows the Professor from a busman’s holiday researching old Irish obscenities to a flirtation with a desirable lady dentist. In <b>The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs</b>, von Igelfeld practices veterinary medicine without a license, transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate and is mobbed by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship. In <b>At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances</b>, the final novel in the trilogy, we find our hero suffering the slings of academic intrigue as a visiting fellow at Cambridge, and the slings of outrageous fortune in an eventful Columbian adventure.
