«Night Train to Lisbon» is the novel by Pascal Mercier, published by Atlantic Books in paperback (436 pages, in English).
Raimund Gregorius, a 57-year-old professor of classical studies, abandons his life in Bern after crossing paths with a Portuguese woman and getting hold of a book by Amadeu de Prado. On the night train to Lisbon he searches for clues about the author and, traversing the city, reconstructs his story while confronting the decisions he has made and the paths he did not take.
Translated from German by Barbara Harshav, the work won the Grinzane Cavour Prize in 2007 in the Foreign Fiction category; its original title is «Nachtzug nach Lissabon».
Recommended for readers of literary fiction who enjoy philosophical novels about identity, the past, and decisions not taken, with a European setting.
Peter Bieri, better known by his pseudonym, Pascal Mercier, was a Swiss writer and philosopher.
