Paul Hecht
Von Igelfeld is the world's leading scholar on Portuguese irregular verbs, having written a majestic, nearly 1,200 page book on the subject. As one review says, "There is nothing more to be said on this subject. Nothing." But in other matters, von Igelfeld is not nearly so skilled. Whether haplessly playing tennis against an equally dreadful opponent, or committing his friends to swordfighting duels without their knowledge, von Igelfeld is somewhat naive in the ways of the world. Yet that does not stop him from having a go at life, and the results are always humorous.
If you enjoy sharp yet subtle wit, you cannot afford to miss Portuguese Irregular Verbs.

A Delightful Read

The book is about three professors who are old friends and colleagues, and mostly seen from the perspective of one of them. There is some entertaining satire about the traditional academic world and personalities - the author used to be a professor, so these points are well-informed, witty, and not shallow. I am now listening to the second book in the series.
Humorous and strange unlikely events

If the name doesn't make you laugh already, you
will do so shortly after.
The book described the adventures of the weird professor, mostly on his vacation in Italy. I think that it is a bit less funny than the "Sausage Dog" volume but still worth a read.
Don't forget the Kleenex to wipe your tears! :)
