{"product_id":"the-2-1-2-pillars-of-wisdom","title":"The 2 1\/2 Pillars of Wisdom","description":"Alexander McCall Smith, best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, has turned his hand to humour. The delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, we are invited to meet a memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau's hapless gaucherie.\r\n\r\nVon Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance Philology at Regensburg, a world he shares with his equally tall and equally ridiculous colleagues, Professors Florianus Prinzel and Detlev Amadeus Unterholzer. Their unlikely adventures are described in three deliciously funny instalments: Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances.","brand":"Alexander McCall Smith","offers":[{"title":"Little, Brown \/ 11 Nov 2004 \/ B35","offer_id":48196295328085,"sku":"9780349118505","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780349118505.webp?v=1713104404","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/the-2-1-2-pillars-of-wisdom","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
