Ambientada en Lisboa en 1938, bajo la opresiva dictadura de Salazar y con la Guerra Civil Española como telón de fondo, esta novela narra la historia de Pereira, un periodista de sucesos que es designado para dirigir la página cultural de un periódico. Pereira, un hombre con una visión nostálgica de la cultura, prefiere la literatura del pasado y se dedica a escribir necrológicas anticipadas. Sin embargo, su encuentro con el joven Monteiro Rossi, un escritor comprometido con la vida, y la relación que establece con él y su novia Marta, desencadenan una crisis personal y una toma de conciencia que transforman su vida.
Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
