The major setting of Pessoa's novel is Lisbon, Portugal. Soares' uncle brings him to this city to find a job. At one point in the autobiography, Soares takes a train ride from Lisbon to Cascais. Apart from this one trip, Soares does not leave his home city very frequently. He is content to stay in a location with which he is familiar. Soares admits to being uncomfortable in unfamiliar places.
