Krátky popis
The international bestseller and modern classic - over 20 million
copies sold worldwide'Shadow is the real deal, a novel full of
cheesy splendour and creaking trapdoors, a novel where even the
subplots have subplots. One gorgeous read' STEPHEN KING'An instant
classic' DAILY TELEGRAPHThe Shadow of the Wind is a stunning
literary thriller in which 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
'The Shadow of the Wind' by Julian Carax. But as he grows up,
several people seem inordinately interested in his find.Then, one
night, as he is wandering the old streets once more, Daniel is
approached by a figure who reminds him of a character from the
book, a character who turns out to be the devil. This man is
tracking down every last copy of Carax's work in order to burn
them. 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 SUNDAY TIMES bestseller and chosen
for the Richard &,amp, Judy book club. 'Part gothic mystery,
past ribald comedy, part political thriller, part Borgesian
parable, and all marvellous' SUNDAY TIMES'A hymn of praise to all
the joys of reading' INDEPENDENT'A magical tale' CECILIA AHERN'One
of those rare novels that combine brilliant plotting with sublime
writing' SUNDAY TIMES'Gripping and instantly atmospheric' MAIL ON
SUNDAY'A book lover's dream' THE TIMES'Irresistibly readable...Walk
down any street in Zafon's Barcelona and you'll glimpse the shades
of the past and the secrets of the present' GUARDIAN'Diabolically
good' ELLE'This gripping novel has the feel of a gothic ghost story
complete with crumbling, ivy-covered mansions, gargoyles and dank
prison cells...this is just the sort of literary mystery that would
have found favour with Wilkie Collins' DAILY MAIL'A deeply
satisfying, rich, full read' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH'A page-turning
exploration of obsession in literature and love' SUNDAY EXPRESS'An
astounding critical success. There's an intricate plot, a gothic
atmosphere and an elusive quest, as well as murders, intrigue and
star-crossed lovers' GUARDIAN
