Synopsis
Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment - Book 3 The Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment series slyly skewers academia, chronicling the comic misadventures of the endearingly awkward Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, and his long-suffering colleagues at the Institute of Romantic Philology in Germany. Readers who fell in love with Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, now have new cause for celebration in the protagonist of these three light-footed comic novels by Alexander McCall Smith. Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romance Philology. Von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he feels certain he is due-a quest which has the tendency to go hilariously astray. In At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances , Professor Dr. von Igelfeld gets caught up in a nasty case of academic intrigue while on sabbatical at Cambridge. When he returns to Regensburg he is confronted with the thrilling news that someone from a foreign embassy has actually checked his masterwork, Portuguese Irregular Verbs , out of the Institute's Library. As a result, he gets caught up in intrigue of a different sort on a visit to Bogota, Colombia.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • At The Villa Of Reduced Circumstances

    I decided to buy this book as it was being considered as a selection for my book club for a college alumnae organization. It's a charming read with lots of dry humor and a great ending. I have also read several other books by Alexander McCall Smith which have been enjoyable. At The Villa of Reduced Circumstances illustrates many characteristics of academics in various countries and also the "customs" in certain South American Countries. A nice surprise ending. Easy reading and would be a nice read for travel, easy to carry and pack. Subtle humor. Recommended reading. oregonbev

  • Alexander McCall Smith is the ultimate psychological experience.

    If you have not yet discovered Alexander McCall Smith, he is FABULOUS!!! A Scotsman, he has written widely, "Villa" is one of three books, The44 Scotland Street is 7 books, & Corduroy Mansions is another set. McCall Smith is the penultimate in characterizations, his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (7 books) really puts you in Africa. His other books, in his own words, "Lets you truly experience Edinborough. This is what we are." If you have ever traveled in Scotland or even the UK you will really appreciate his wit & style. Bon Voyage!!!!

  • Amusing, Not Great

    This book is not as compelling as Smith's Ladies' Detective series or his Philosophy Club series. Nonetheless, being the good writer that he is, it is worth reading and is pretty amusing.

  • At The Villa of Reduced Circumstances

    I am a big fan of Alexander McCall Smith. This book is a very different style than his other writings. Still enjoyed it and finishing the series. Fun, sarcastic, quick read.
