Night in Lisbon

“Life is short… But what makes it so? The very awareness of its brevity.”

Europe is on fire. As the Nazis tighten their grip, two desperate refugees in Lisbon cling to one final hope — a ship to America. But tickets are almost impossible to get.

Then a stranger appears, offering his two tickets — on one condition: he must be heard. Over the course of a long, wine-filled night, he shares a harrowing tale of escape, love, and survival during the war. It’s a story of exile, loss, and the beauty found even in the darkest of times.

A deeply moving and atmospheric novel from one of the greatest chroniclers of 20th-century human tragedy and resilience.
