Welcome o the extraordinary world of Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Iglefeld.In the first of these tall novels,we follow von Igelfeld from his student days and his early fieldwork in search of ancient Irish obscenities,to an aching infatuation with a dentist fatale, ending up with a Venetian sojourn that has distinct,and troubling, echoes of Thomas Mann.
In the sequel to above volume,our hero, Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, is the unlikely choice to address veterinarians in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas,is dogged by dachshunds,becomes embroiled with that notorious Coptic schismatic,the Duke of Johannesburg (and his victim the Patriarch of Alexandria),and finally ends up being mobbed as the star attraction on a Mediterranean cruise ship.
The third novel in the 'Portuguese Irregular Verbs.' trilogy sees von Igelfeld suffering the slings of academic intrigue as a visiting fellow at Cambridge,and the arrows of outrageous fortune in an eventful Colombian adventure. Between trips,von Igelfeld returns to his beloved Regensburg only to discover that while he has been away his murine colleagues have been at play.
