Summary of At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances
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.
