Carlos Ruiz Zafon - The Shadow of the Wind (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9781474609883
Synopsis
The Cemetery of Forgotten Books #1
The international bestseller and modern classic - over 20 million copies sold worldwide.
A stunning literary thriller in the tradition of Umberto Eco. The discovery of a forgotten book leads to a hunt for an elusive author who may or may not still be alive.
Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'cemetery of lost books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. To this library, a man brings his 10-year-old son Daniel one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book from the shelves and pulls out 'La Sombra del Viento' by Julian Carax.
As he grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find . . .
What begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind. A page-turning exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead.
