In Lisbon two people meet and fall in love, and their affair cannot be separated from a passion for the city. Following it takes the reader down many roads: between legend and the historical record, longing and what is real, books and the visual arts, the present and what came before. On the way the novel reflects on how the sexes live together, on a civilisation in crisis and on the need to imagine the world anew.
