The Shadow of the Wind

by Lucia Graves, Carlos Ruiz Zafón
$9.90
The Shadow of the Wind
The Shadow of the Wind

Gothic mystery intertwines with post-war Barcelona's shadows.

If journeys through rich, atmospheric settings tinged with mystery entice you, "The Shadow of the Wind" stands as a captivating choice. It's not just a novel but an exploration of post-war Barcelona through the eyes of a book lover, where the intrigue swirls as much as the turning pages. The interplay of literature's impact on life—and perhaps the other way around—makes this book an entrancing tale that promises to haunt you long after you've read the last word.

Description

Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles. A man brings his ten-year-old son, Daniel, there one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and selects The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax. As he grows up, several people become fascinated with his find. What begins as a literary curiosity turns into a race to uncover the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind.
