In Barcelona a summer morning 1945 the owner of a used bookstore conducts year-old son, Daniel, to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a secret place where thousands of volumes are subtracted from oblivion to which time has erased the memory. Daniel And here comes into possession of a book "cursed" that will change the course of his life, introducing him to a world of mystery and intrigue associated with the figure of Julian Carax, the author of that volume. Daniel is left stunned, while from the past begin to emerge stories of illicit passions of impossible love, of friendship and absolute loyalty, and of a grisly killing spree in an abandoned mansion guarded secret. A story where Daniel finds himself gradually disturbing parallels with your life ...
E 'Ruiz Zafon's first book I read and I was fascinated. I love the style, I love how the events took place, I love that it has specified any place where they moved the characters. A book that will undoubtedly keep glued to the pages that run fast and pass the chapters one after another in search of truth.
In Barcelona the 40-50 years between the end of the Civil War and World War II, a book will change the lives of many people.
If indeed there was a Cemetery of Forgotten Books (but how can you forget a book?) Would false papers to enter and get lost in a maze of corridors and shelves. Among these shelves to little Daniel meets what will be the book of his life: The Shadow of the Wind, written by a stranger when the mysterious Julian Carax.
But research on the author proves dangerous, insidious, when inconclusive amazing. The lives of the reader and writer overlap in a series of coincidences and parallels that leave in disbelief. And
All is revealed in the finale, as it should be.
