The world's threats are universal like the sun but Ricardo Reis takes shelter under his own shadow.
Back in Lisbon after sixteen years practicing medicine in Brazil, Ricardo Reis wanders the rain-sodden streets. He longs for the unattainably aristocratic Marcenda, but it is Lydia, the hotel chamber maid who makes and shares his bed. His old friend, the poet Fernando Pessoa, returns to see him, still wearing the suit he was buried in six weeks earlier. It is 1936, the clouds of Fascism are gathering ominously above them, so they talk; a wonderful, rambling discourse on art, truth, poetry, philosophy, destiny and love.

Ricardo Reis képzeletbeli személy, ám nem Saramago ágyából pattant ki. A nagy portugál költő, Fernando Pessoa álmodta meg saját költőtársául. Személyiséget, életművet, szinte teljes életrajzot kreált neki, ám az 1910-es évek végén mintha megfeledkezett volna róla, s megszakadt a történet. Az így meg
