The bestselling novel of love, sacrifice, and resistance under fascist rule—now a major motion picture starring Jeremy Irons.
Raimund Gregorius, a Swiss professor of dead languages, lives a life governed by routine—until a chance encounter with an enigmatic Portuguese woman and a mysterious book of philosophy sets him on an unexpected path. Compelled by the haunting words of the book’s author, Amadeu de Prado—a physician who defied Salazar’s dictatorship—Raimund boards a train to Lisbon in search of the man behind the pages.
As Raimund pieces together Prado’s life through the memories of those who knew him, he uncovers a tale of courage, betrayal, and resistance. The deeper he digs, the more he questions his own existence.
Night Train to Lisbon is a profound, meditative exploration of identity, language, and the human spirit, beloved by readers worldwide.
