About this product

Product Information

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. 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 La Sombra del Viento, 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 page-turning exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead.

Totally compelling, I couldn’t put it down.
This is a stunning literary thriller about the discovery of a forgotten book and the search for its author, set in Barcelona after the Spanish Civil war. This author has written more amazing books about the Cemetery of Forgotten books and the strange thing is that, after reading The Shadow of the Wind, you can read them in any order. This is one of the best authors I have had the privilege to read and I loved this book so much that I bought every copy I could find and sent them to friends and family.

Terrible condition.
The book was listed as very good., it is not. The condition is awful, yellowed pages, torn and bent pages, library stamp makes on all three edges. I’m very unhappy with this item.

It's a book
well, there were words set out in an original way that when read by a reader of English could interpret the sentences making sense of each word, reaching a conclusion what was being suggested.
