Your inner Hedgehog
(Book)
Description
"Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr. 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. This time, Professor Dr. Dr. von Igelfeld will have to take on a dangerous newcomer-Deputy Librarian Dr. Hilda Schreiber-Ziegler. Swept in on a wave of progressive enthusiasm, she seems determined to drag the department into the modern age. At first this is a minor nuisance, but when Dr. Schreiber-Ziegler attempts to remove twenty-one of the twenty-two copies of Professor Dr. Dr. von Igelfeld's seminal work, the thousand page Portuguese Irregular Verbs... well, things have gone a bit too far. As a result, von Igelfeld mounts a campaign for the exalted position of Director of the Institute against none other than the upstart Dr. Schreiber-Ziegler herself. But the politicking will have to wait. Von Igelfeld has been offered a visiting fellowship among the ivory towers of Oxford, where he will have to stave off an MI6 recruitment attempt and the effusive attention of a young American scholar. Still, von Igelfeld has always heeded the clarion call of duty, especially when it comes with a larger office"--
