The Complete Short Stories of Carlos Ruiz Zafón Carlos Ruiz Zafón conceived this work as a tribute to his readers, who had followed him throughout the saga that began with The Shadow of the Wind. «I can conjure up faces of children from the Ribera neighborhood with whom I sometimes played or fought in the street, but none I would want to rescue from the land of indifference. None except Blanca's.» A boy decides to become a writer when he discovers that his inventions earn him a little more interest from the rich girl who has stolen his heart. An architect flees Constantinople with the plans for an impregnable library. A strange gentleman tempts Cervantes to write a book such as has never existed. And Gaudí, sailing to a mysterious appointment in New York, delights in the light and steam, the stuff of which cities should be made. The echo of the great characters and motifs of the novels of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books resonates in the short stories of Carlos Ruiz Zafón —gathered for the first time, and some of them unpublished— in which the magic of the storyteller who made us dream like no other takes hold. |
