My Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier

This is just a book I am reading about a Swiss professor, expert in old and classical languages, whose nickname is Mundus and suddenly in his life, changing all his habits and routines always followed mindfully through his thick glasses, he meets a strange Portuguese woman who barely speaks to him but the few is enough to feel the melodic sound in Portuguese words which echoes in his ears for more time than in reality becoming impassioned. From this short contact and after having touch with a Portuguese book written by Amadeu Inácio de Almeida Prado with absolute no logical reason he starts a quest trying to find this author leaving past behind all his current, defined and comfortable common life. His seek brings him obviously to Lisbon, the capital and largest city in Portugal and as he walks in Lisbon streets some peculiar places are described and as I read I confess… ‘Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa’ is in the air…
