Nazi wartime deals and the modern-day murder of a Portuguese teen are linked with originality and suspense in this award–winning crime novel. 1941. Klaus Felsen, forced out of his Berlin factory into the SS, arrives in a luminous Lisbon, where Nazis and Allies, refugees and entrepreneurs, dance to the strains of opportunism and despair. Felsen’s assignment takes him to the bleak mountains of the north where a devious and brutal battle is being fought for an element vital to Hitler’s bliztkrieg. There he meets the man who plants the first seed of greed and revenge that will grow into a thick vine in the landscape of post-war Portugal . . . Late 1990s. Investigating the murder of a young girl with a disturbing sexual past, Inspector Ze Coelho overturns the dark soil of history and unearths old bones from Portugal’s fascist past. This small death in Lisbon is horrific compensation for an even older crime, and Coelho’s stubborn pursuit of its truth reveals a tragedy that unites past and present . . . Robert Wilson’s combination of intelligence, suspense, vivid characters, and mesmerizing storytelling richly deserves the international acclaim his novel has received. Praise for A Small Death in Lisbon Winner of the Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel “A suspenseful, intricately plotted, violent and steamy tale that . . . is an impressive piece of work. Mr. Wilson’s book puts one in mind of the best writers working in the international thriller genre, the likes of John le Carré and Martin Cruz Smith. . . . You will turn the last page of this compelling novel almost out of breath.” —New York Times “Gripping and beautifully written.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Five Passengers is filled with the “suspense and terror which Mrs. Eberhart knows so well how to maintain.”—The New York Times Boarding the ship was like entering a dream for Marcia Colfax. At her side was the man she loved; awaiting them was a long delayed happiness. But now a bloodstained knife has slashed her plans to bits. Now her dream has become a nightmare. One man is dead, a knife buried deep in his back. After the second of the group is found dead, fear spreads throughout the ship, as do rumors that Nazi diehards lie among the rescued. Now her voyage to happiness has become a race against death as the murderer readies to strike again. Shortly after the end of the war, an American hospital ship rescues passengers and crew from a sinking Argentina-bound freighter. It's soon discovered that one of the group has been murdered, apparently by one of his own companions. After the second of the group is found dead, fear spreads throughout the ship, as do rumors that Nazi diehards lie among the rescued. “The master touch... superior.”—Kirkus “Ample action and much tense emotion.”—Saturday Review

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Fifteen years after The Life of Pi, Yann Martel is taking us on another long journey. Fans of his Man Booker Prize–winning novel will recognize familiar themes from that seafaring phenomenon, but the itinerary in this imaginative new book is entirely fresh. . . . Martel’s writing has never been more charming.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomás discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that—if he can find it—would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe’s earliest automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure. Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomás’s quest. Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion. The High Mountains of Portugal—part quest, part ghost story, part contemporary fable—offers a haunting exploration of great love and great loss. Filled with tenderness, humor, and endless surprise, it takes the reader on a road trip through Portugal in the last century—and through the human soul. Praise for The High Mountains of Portugal “Just as ambitious, just as clever, just as existential and spiritual [as Life of Pi] . . . a book that rewards your attention . . . an excellent book club choice.”—San Francisco Chronicle “There’s no denying the simple pleasures to be had in The High Mountains of Portugal.”—Chicago Tribune “Charming . . . Most Martellian is the boundless capacity for parable. . . . Martel knows his strengths: passages about the chimpanzee and his owner brim irresistibly with affection and attentiveness.”—The New Yorker “A rich and rewarding experience . . . [Martel] spins his magic thread of hope and despair, comedy and pathos.”—USA Today “I took away indelible images from High Mountains, enchanting and disturbing at the same time. . . . As whimsical as Martel’s magic realism can be, grief informs every step of the book’s three journeys. In the course of the novel we burrow ever further into the heart of an ape, pure and threatening at once, our precursor, ourselves.”—NPR “Refreshing, surprising and filled with sparkling moments of humor and insight.”—The Dallas Morning News “We’re fortunate to have brilliant writers using their fiction to meditate on a paradox we need urgently to consider—the unbridgeable gap and the unbreakable bond between human and animal, our impossible self-alienation from our world.”—Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian “[Martel packs] his inventive novel with beguiling ideas. What connects an inept curator to a haunted pathologist to a smitten politician across more than seventy-five years is the author’s ability to conjure up something uncanny at the end.”—The Boston Globe “A fine home, and story, in which to find oneself.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The Jew" is a classic of Portuguese literature written by Camilo Castelo Branco. Originally published in 1866, the narrative unfolds in four parts, originally in two volumes, spanning a family's story from 1699 to 1760. In the first volume, we are introduced to the ill-fated couple of lovers, Jorge de Barros and Sara de Carvalho, in the mid-1699s. Jorge, a member of a noble family in Portugal, faces the hatred and persecution of his own relatives, while Sara, whose parents were condemned to the stake by the Inquisition due to accusations of Judaism, seeks to conceal her true ancestry to avoid the same tragic fate. The plot unfolds amidst prejudices and adversities, but their story is linked to secrets and mysteries that endure for generations. In the second volume, the narrative focuses on Antônio José da Silva, a charismatic character who faces challenges due to unrequited love and the hostility of clerics and poets offended by his sarcastic comedies. Additionally, the book presents episodes from the life of the historical Knight of Oliveira, who endured political and religious persecutions in Portugal. "The Jew" is more than a historical novel; it is a profound exploration of anti-Semitic prejudice and the persecution of Jews in Portugal during this period. Camilo Castelo Branco weaves a narrative rich in historical details, offering readers an engaging view of this dark chapter in history. With captivating characters, dramatic twists, and the author's characteristic romantic writing style, this work is a gem of Portuguese literature that continues to captivate readers to this day. It is a must-read for those who appreciate historical romance, Portuguese literature from the 19th century, and narratives that delve into social, moral, and cultural conflicts. Camilo Castelo Branco transports us to a fascinating era where love and tragedy intertwine with Portugal's history, resulting in a literary masterpiece that endures through the centuries.
