Raimund Gregorius teaches classical languages at a Swiss lycee, and
lives a life governed by routine. One day, a chance encounter with
a Portuguese woman inspires 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, Gergorius boards a train to Lisbon. As Gregorius
becomes fascinated with unlocking the mystery of who Prado was, an
extraordinary tale unfolds.
