Night Train to Lisbon follows Raimund Gregorius, a 57-year-old Classics scholar, on a journey that takes him across Europe. Abandoning his job and his life and travelling with a dusty old book as his talisman, he heads for Lisbon in search of clues to the life of the book's Portuguese author, Amadeu de Prado. As he gets swept up in his quest, he finds that the journey is also one of self-discovery, as he reencounters all the decisions he has made - and not made - in his life, and faces the roads not travelled.

Pohdiskeleva romaani kielestä ja oman äänen löytämisestä

Yöjuna Lissaboniin -kirjailijan uutuus! Rachel Cuskin hengessä kerrontaa kieputtava romaani saa pohtimaan uusien alkujen mahdollisuutta.

Simon Leyland on kääntäjä, joka on rakentanut elämänsä sanojen varaan. Kun dramaattiset tapahtumat saavat hänet palaamaan Lontooseen Italian-vuosien jälkeen, vastassa on hiljainen tyhjyys. Satunnaiset kohtaamiset tuntemattomien kanssa ajavat Simonin puntaroimaan kielen vaikutusta, muistin petollisuutta ja taiteen keinoja kellojen seisauttamiseen. Mietteliäs romaani muistuttaa, että meidän kaikkien on löydettävä oma ääni, jonka kautta kertoa oma tarinamme – myös itsellemme.

Pascal Mercier on sveitsiläisen Peter Bierin kirjailijanimi. Hän syntyi Bernissä vuonna 1944. Mercierin romaani Yöjuna Lissaboniin on ihastuttanut lukijoita ympäri Eurooppaa ja nostanut Mercierin eurooppalaisten nykykirjailijoiden etujoukkoon. Kirjailijan roolin ulkopuolella Pascal Mercier on luonut mittavan uran yliopistomaailmassa. Hän väitteli filosofian tohtoriksi vuonna 1971 aikaa käsittelevällä väitöskirjallaan.
