Summary

Una lúcida meditación, a través de un poeta y una ciudad, sobre el sentido de toda una época.

A fines de 1935, cuando acaba de fallecer Fernando Pessoa, llega al puerto de Lisboa un barco inglés, Highland Brigade, en el que ha viajado, desde Brasil, Ricardo Reis, uno de los heterónimos del gran poeta portugués.

A lo largo de nueve meses cruciales en la historia de Europa, durante los que estalla la guerra de España y se produce la intervención italiana en Abisinia, asistiremos a la última etapa de la vida de Ricardo Reis, en diálogo con el espíritu de Fernando Pessoa que acude a visitarle desde el cementerio en los momentos más inesperados. Es la época de las plumas estilográficas, de las radios Pilot, de las Juventudes Hitlerianas, de los topolinos, en una Lisboa atlántica cuya atmósfera envolvente se convierte en el verdadero protagonista de esta fascinante experiencia narrativa.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
