Hailed as a masterpiece of world literature, \u003ci\u003eThe Land at the End of the World\u003c\/i\u003e—in an acclaimed translation by Margaret Jull Costa—recounts the anguished tale of a Portuguese medic haunted by memories of war. Like the Ancient Mariner who will tell his tale to anyone who listens, the narrator’s evening unfolds like a fever dream that is both tragic and haunting. The result is one of the great war novels of the modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAntónio Lobo Antunes, born in 1942 in Benfica, is considered to be Portugal's greatest living writer.
