Description

Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld returns in another comic episode of academic vanity, social embarrassment, and misplaced confidence. As the stuffy German scholar navigates professional rivalries and the possibility of romance with a recently widowed woman, his grand ambitions repeatedly collide with the absurdities of everyday life. Alexander McCall Smith’s wry, understated style brings affectionate humor to intellectual pretension, eccentric personalities, and the peculiar rituals of academic society.
