A retired professor who writes travel guides, Herman Mussert, wakes up in Lisbon despite having fallen asleep in Amsterdam. Between wakefulness and sleep he recalls an old relationship and embarks with six strangers for Brazil; their stories move toward a single destiny while the novel reflects on love, death, chance and reality.

For readers of philosophical fiction and contemporary European literature, with a structure that plays between dream and memory.
Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals, which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990. Harcourt and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English.
