On a hot Sunday in July, an unnamed narrator travels around Lisbon. Along the way, he meets different people, some of them real, some existing only in his memories, he visits cafes, hotels, goes to the suburbs, and at the end of the day meets an unnamed poet, in whom Fernando Pessoa is easily recognized.

This text is part travelogue, part gastronomic guide of Portugal, it balances between the hallucinatory and the real, between implicit fantasies and detailed descriptions of places and dishes.

It is no coincidence that Antonio Tabucchi wrote the novel in Portuguese, because with this text he pays tribute to the country and the city that have become his home.
