I won't attempt to summarize the plot line -- I think this is the main reward of this book, where the writing style is rather plain and (to further debunk any parallels to Balzac) replaces any philosophical insights with religious moralizing. Where it gets anywhere near Dickens is in the intricate network of relationships, doubled and tripled, between the different characters. It is said of the Bleak House that it is the one novel of Dickens' that leaves no loose ends: the same can be said of Mystères de Lisbonne: all characters you encounter turn out to have crossed each other's paths in the past and do so again as the story unfolds, and a past action of one character would have influenced the life of another, often in surprising ways.
Rather than a translation into English, what I would love to see a talented novelist do is to rewrite the story by omitting all the sentimentalism and all the pious moralizing, and bring to it a bit more depth of thought, the way Raoul Ruiz did it on screen. ( )
