The Shadow of the Wind

by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Lucia Graves
₱589.05
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. To this library, a man brings his 10-year-old son, Daniel, one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and from the dusty shelves pulls The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax. But as Daniel 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.
