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 PostIn Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomas discovers an old journal.
