The Shadow of the Wind (Carlos Ruiz Zafón Collection)

"I still remember that dawn when my father took me for the first time to visit the Cemetery of Forgotten Books."

One dawn in 1945, a boy is led by his father to a mysterious place hidden in the heart of the old city: the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. There, Daniel Sempere finds a cursed book that changes the course of his life and drags him into a labyrinth of intrigues and secrets buried in the dark soul of the city. The Shadow of the Wind is a literary mystery set in Barcelona in the first half of the 20th century, from the last splendors of Modernism to the darkness of the post-war period.

Combining the techniques of intrigue and suspense narrative, historical novel and comedy of manners, The Shadow of the Wind is above all a tragic love story whose echo is projected through time. With great narrative force, the author intertwines plots and enigmas like Russian dolls in an unforgettable story about the secrets of the heart and the enchantment of books whose intrigue is maintained until the last page.
