About This Audiobook

Sostiene Pereira is a compact gem of a novel, set in Lisbon, 1938. Dr. Pereira, a mild-mannered journalist, finds his world shifting when he hires the enigmatic Monteiro Rossi. Tabucchi's prose is lean and evocative, painting a haunting portrait of fascist-era Portugal. Sergio Rubini's narration is a standout, capturing Pereira's quiet desperation and Rossi's charismatic allure. This isn't your typical historical drama; it's a subtle, atmospheric exploration of morality and resistance.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Rubini's performance is the heart of this audiobook. His Pereira is a man on the edge, his voice a mix of weariness and quiet determination. The pacing is perfect, building tension as Pereira's world unravels. Tabucchi's storytelling is subtle, relying on nuance and implication, which can make the plot feel slow at times. But it's a small price to pay for the rich, atmospheric world-building. Pereira's Lisbon is a character in its own right, and Rubini's narration brings it to life beautifully. A must-listen for fans of literary fiction and historical drama.
