Die Nacht von Lissabon is a novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque, published in 1962. The story follows a German refugee and his wife during World War II as they attempt to escape Nazi-occupied Europe. In Lisbon, they meet a mysterious man who offers them two tickets for a ship to America, in exchange for listening to his story. The novel explores themes such as despair, hope, love, and loss in times of war, and offers a moving insight into the experience of refugees during this dark period of history.
Erich Maria Remarque was a German novelist. His landmark novel All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), based on his experience in the Imperial German Army during World War I, was an international bestseller which created a new literary genre of veterans writing about conflict. The book was adapted to film several times. Remarque's anti-war themes led to his condemnation by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as "unpatriotic". He was able to use his literary success and fame to relocate to Switzerland as a refugee, and to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.
