Night Train to Lisbon is a philosophical novel by Swiss writer Pascal Mercier. It recounts the travels of Swiss Classics instructor Raimund Gregorius as he explores the life of Amadeu de Prado, a Portuguese doctor, during Antnio de Oliveira Salazar's right-wing dictatorship in Portugal. Prado is a serious thinker whose active mind becomes evident in a series of his notes collected and read by Gregorius.
The book was originally published in German as Nachtzug nach Lissabon in 2004 and was first published in English in 2008. The novel became an international bestseller.[1] Danish film director Bille August adapted the book into a 2013 film of the same name, starring Jeremy Irons as Raimund Gregorius.
The real night train from Hendaye (France) to Lisbon was stopped since the Covid pandemic after running for decades. All train connections from France to Portugal have been cancelled in 2022 due to the Spanish-French Railroad War.[2]
Raimund "Mundus" Gregorius, 57 years old, is a teacher at a Swiss gymnasium in modern-day Bern. He is an expert in ancient languages (ancient Greek, Latin and Hebrew) and a man very comfortable in his routine. One morning on his way to work, he saves a mysterious Portuguese woman from what he assumes is a suicide attempt. Although the woman disappears shortly afterwards, their chance-encounter marks the beginning of Raimund's journey. Later that day, he visits an antiquarian bookshop where he discovers Um ourives das palavras (A Goldsmith of Words, this may refer to Gil Vicente, a formidable playwright and poet of the Portuguese Renaissance who had possibly been a goldsmith), a book by Amadeu de Prado. The author ponders the philosophical issue of going back in time and making various different choices, resulting in a completely different life. Raimund is immediately intrigued by the author's somber musings. The book is in Portuguese, a language Raimund doesn't speak, so he begins translating with the help of a dictionary. Sensing a kindred spirit in Amadeu, he is suddenly gripped by the fear of not living his life to its full potential. The next morning, he abandons his teaching position, turns his back on Bern and sets out for Lisbon. There, he begins investigating the fate of the Prado family.
His father, a stern man and a judge loyal to the government, later crumbles under the pressure of his conscience and commits suicide. Amadeu, who is by now an accomplished and well-liked doctor, saves the life of Mendez, the "Butcher of Lisbon" and Chief of Secret Police. In the public eye, Amadeu's actions mark him down as a traitor, resulting in him being shunned and secretly joining the resistance to ease his conscience. After his premature death due to an aneurysm, Amadeu's notes and journal entries are edited and published by his sister Adriana. She owes her life to Amadeu and religiously devotes her energy to preserving her brother's legacy.
During his stay in Lisbon, Raimund meets the ophthalmologist Mariana Ea. She prescribes him new glasses when he breaks his old ones in an accident. Mariana's uncle, Joo Ea, was a member of the resistance. Raimund visits him several times to talk about Amadeu.
Raimund also manages to track down Jorge O'Kelly, a pharmacy owner and Amadeu's best friend who helped him join the resistance, and Estefnia Espinhosa, a woman with an exceptional memory. Amadeu was in love with her, even though she was Jorge's girlfriend at the time. She later fled the country and became a professor of history at the University of Salamanca.
Mercier uses various activities and subthemes to help explore these deep, self-reflective subjects including "night journeys, insomnia and dream-filled sleep, of being stuck in place yet somehow adrift, and confusion about life's purpose." With this introspective approach, Mercier is able to review concepts of "who we are, how we control our experience of life, and how fragile that construction is."[4]
Like the depiction of the city of Lisbon as mysterious and intricate, the text of Night Train to Lisbon is intricate and complicated, sometimes withholding information from the reader.[3][5] Multiple reviewers also pointed to the thriller qualities the novel takes on despite the philosophical focus of the themes.[4][5]
Anne Phillips in The News-Gazette noted that Night Train to Lisbon was "reminiscent of Carlos Ruiz Zafn's The Shadow of the Wind" and commented that "mystery romance and political intrigue" keep the pages turning.[6] Robert Moyle of the Herald Sun also points out how engaging Night Train to Lisbon is, pointing out how easy it is for the reader to identify with Gregorius.[4] Daniel Johnson of The Telegraph placed Mercier, with this novel, amongst the best European novelists alive.[5]
Iranian writer Mahshid Mirmoezzi translated the book into Persian, with its release in April 2013.[7] Iran does not recognize various international copyright accords, but Mirmoezzi received permission from the author before she translated it.[8] She won the Parvin Award for her translation.[9]
During the Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan on 21 March 2014, the wall of the second floor of the Legislative Yuan was sprayed with a quote from the work, "when dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a duty."

A segunda metade do sculo XVIII constituiu, para a ourivesaria da prata lisboeta, um perodo de mudana provocado no apenas pelas alteraes estticas, mas tambm pela conjuntura social, econmica e poltica, em parte decorrente da devastao do terramoto de 1755, cujos contextos concorreram para a elevao deste ofcio na cidade. Lisboa era observada como local de confluncia, circulao de novas ideias, disseminao de informao e novas oportunidades, que justificavam a apetncia de ourives da prata chegados de diversos pontos do pas para exercer o ofcio na capital. Neste perodo, o arruamento do ofcio cingia-se, com apertada obrigatoriedade, Rua dos Ourives da Prata, ento localizada na freguesia de Santa Maria Madalena. Contudo, este facto viria a alterar-se devido s circunstncias de reconstruo provocadas pelo cataclismo de 1755, perodo em que a geografia da cidade e a respetiva distribuio das ruas e freguesias iriam conduzir a uma mobilidade dos ourives ao nvel da sua distribuio no espao urbano da cidade.
Em cada editorial que escrevemos desta publicao peridica, mesmo que a sua edio se tenha deixado de fazer em papel, sentimos que se concretiza mais um esforo para a implementao da investigao universitria no campo das Artes Decorativas em Portugal. E temos em mente que estes domnios em que a revista se move constituem um oceano frtil de temticas, sempre carente de mais e melhor elaborada investigao, que relacione a observao das peas com a pesquisa arquivstica, que entrelace a realidade portuguesa com as influncias internacionais e, no especfico do projecto de investigao do CITAR, fortalea a ponte, evidentemente necessria, entre as artes decorativas portuguesas e as brasileiras, processo que se prolongou, em algumas reas, at ao sculo XX.
A partir de meados do sculo XIX, no Norte de Portugal, propagou-se entre as populaes rurais um significativo tipo de ourivesaria, conhecido por ouro popular. Este, constitua uma forma de ornamentao e reserva de valor, veiculava conceitos religiosos e amulticos e estabelecia estatutos sociais e econmicos entre os seus usurios. composto por um conjunto delimitado e identificado de adornos com caractersticas formais e decorativas prprias e estveis, ao longo do tempo, utilizando vrias tcnicas, destacando-se a estamparia e a filigrana. Produzido em Gondomar e Travassos, sofreu alteraes de uso durante o sculo XX. Porm, chegou ao sculo XXI, com alguns modelos recuperando o seu estatuto e a tcnica da filigrana a ser utilizada em peas contemporneas por designers e novos tipos de ourives.
