Raimond Grigorius teaches classical languages at a Swiss lycee, and lives a life governed by routine. One day, a chance encounter with a Portuguese woman causes him to question his life--and leads him to an extraordinary book that will open the possibility of changing it. Inspired by the words of Amadeu de Prado a doctor whose intelligence and magnetism left a mark on everyone who met him and whose principles led him into a confrontation with Salazar's dictatorship, Gregorius boards a train to Lisbon. As Gregorius becomes fascinated with unlocking the mystery of who Prado was, an extraordinary tale unfolds.

I read this book years ago and I found it very interesting and different at the time.

This book was left on a table in front of Subway Restaurant. It was released for the 52 Towns in 52 Weeks release challenge and the Tick Tock release challenge.
