The Night in Lisbon (Die Nacht von Lissabon) is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, first published in 1962. Like many of his works, it explores themes of war, exile, and the human cost of political upheaval. Set during World War II, the novel follows the journey of a German refugee fleeing the Nazis. The story unfolds in Lisbon, Portugal, a crucial escape route for refugees seeking to flee war-torn Europe. The unnamed narrator, a German refugee, finds himself in desperate need of passage to America. One night, he encounters another refugee, Josef Schwarz, who offers him two tickets for a ship bound for the United States, but only on the condition that he listens to his life story. Ralph Manheim, a renowned translator, was known for his English translations of major German literary works, including those by Bertolt Brecht, Günter Grass, and Remarque. His translation of The Night in Lisbon preserves the novel’s melancholic and reflective tone while maintaining the lyrical quality of Remarque’s prose.
