Portuguese Irregular Verbs
Professor Dr von Igelfeld · Book 1Description
Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld is a brilliant, self-important German academic whose celebrated study of Portuguese irregular verbs has earned him a reputation far greater than his practical judgment. Across a series of sharply observed comic episodes, his scholarly ambitions lead him into awkward encounters, cultural misunderstandings, and increasingly absurd situations. With wit, gentle satire, and an affectionate eye for human vanity, the book skewers academic pomposity while celebrating the comic unpredictability of ordinary life. This charming collection of linked stories offers an entertaining introduction to one of Alexander McCall Smith’s most memorable eccentric characters.
