📖 Synopsis

An apolitical journalist awakens his conscience in Salazar's Portugal. Tabucchi's small great novel about courage.

✍️ ChatZona's review

Tabucchi wrote a novel of political conscience with the delicacy of a goldsmith. Pereira — fat, widowed, obsessed with obituaries — is the most unlikely protagonist for a story of resistance, yet the most convincing. Salazar's Portugal never appears directly but it is present in every conversation, every fear. Brief and perfectly calibrated. One of those novels that do not shout and yet stay with you.
