Seis inquietantes relatos componen este libro, donde un mismo gusto desasosegado pero exquisito, aspero pero elegante, recorre con sutileza cada una de estas pequenas piezas maestras.

A private meeting, chance encounters, and a mysterious tour of Lisbon, in this brilliant homage to Fernando Pessoa.In this enchanting and evocative novel, Antonio Tabucchi takes the reader on a dream-like trip to Portugal, a country he is deeply attached to. He spent many years there as director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Lisbon. He even wrote Requiem in Portuguese; it had to be translated into Italian for publication in his native Italy.Requiem's narrator has an appointment to meet someone on a quay by the Tagus at twelve. But, it turns out, not twelve noon, twelve midnight, so he has a long time to while away. As the day unfolds, he has many encounters―a young junky, a taxi driver who is not familiar with the streets, several waiters, a gypsy, a cemetery keeper, the mysterious Isabel, an accordionist, in all almost two dozen people both real and illusionary. Finally he meets The Guest, the ghost of the long dead great poet Fernando Pessoa. Part travelog, part autobiography, part fiction, and even a bit of a cookbook, Requiem becomes an homage to a country and its people, and a farewell to the past as the narrator lays claim to a literary forebear who, like himself, is an evasive and many-sided personality.

As the collection's title suggests, time's passage is the fil rouge of these stories.  All of Tabucchi's characters struggle to find routes of escape from a present that is hard to bear, and from places in which political events have had deeply personal ramifications for their own lives.  Each of the nine stories in Time Ages in a Hurry is an imaginative inquiry into something hidden or disguised, which can be uncovered not by reason but only by feeling and intuition, by what isn't said.  Disquieted and disoriented yet utterly human in their loves and fears, the characters in these vibrant and often playful stories suffer from what Tabucchi once referred to as a "corrupted relationship with history." Each protagonist must confront phantoms from the past, misguided or false beliefs, and the deepest puzzles of identity--and each in his or her own way ends up experiencing "an infinite sense of liberation, as when finally we understand something we'd known all along and didn't want to know."

"One of the most intriguing and appealing character studies in recent European fiction, and easily the best work of Tabucchi's to have appeared in English translation."―Kirkus Reviews Dr. Pereira is an aging, overweight journalist who has failed to notice the menacing cloud of fascism over Salazarist Portugal, until one day he meets an aspiring young writer and anti-fascist. Breaking out of his apolitical torpor, Pereira reluctantly rises to heroism.

Tabucchi retrata la evolucion de Italia a lo largo de un siglo convulso a traves de Sesto y su familia, desde la generacion de los abuelos. Aparecen en estas paginas una Italia rural y de pequenas ciudades de provincias, un pueblo que vive de una cantera, la llegada de la electricidad y los primeros coches, dos guerras, dos hermanas gemelas amadas por un insulso burgues que tendra con una de ellas un hijo ilegitimo, el hermanastro legitimo de este... Uno de estos hermanos se hara fascista, y el otro, maestro de escuela, acabara prisionero de los nazis; en la posguerra el fascista se pasara a la Democracia Cristiana, y asi llegaremos a los convulsos sesenta, con una chica llamada Rosa en honor de Rosa Luxemburgo y cuyo destino sera acaso tan tragico como el de la lider espartaquista. / Tabucchi portrays the evolution of Italy through a convulsive century. In these pages appear a rural Italy with small provincial towns, the arrival of electricity and the first cars, two wars, two twin sisters loved by a bourgeois
