內容簡介: |
Alexander McCall Smith, best-selling author of The No. 1
Ladies'' Detective Agency, has turned his hand to humour. The
delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the
unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von
Igelfeld, we are invited to meet a memorable character whose
sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of
Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau''s hapless gaucherie. Von
Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance
Philology at Regensburg, a world he shares with his equally tall
and equally ridiculous colleagues, Professors Florianus Prinzel and
Detlev Amadeus Unterholzer. Their unlikely adventures are described
in three deliciously funny instalments: Portuguese Irregular Verbs,
The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At the Villa of Reduced
Circumstances.
