Description

Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld's latest pursuit is a never-ending quest for respect, which often takes an unexpected turn. In "Portuguese Irregular Verbs", he learns to play tennis and finds himself in a duel that results in a nipped nose. His travels also take him to Ireland, where he encounters the rich world of archaic Irishisms, and to Italy, where two sojourns leave him with uncomfortable and dangerous consequences. As von Igelfeld navigates these misadventures, he develops an infatuation with a Dentist fatale. Along the way, he must confront his own eccentricities and the absurdities of life. With its unique blend of humor and satire, "Portuguese Irregular Verbs" is a tale that will keep you entertained. This book is part of a series of humorous tales featuring Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, a quirky academic with a penchant for getting into trouble.
