The Shadow of the Wind

A book phenomenon... A book puzzle... A book labyrinth...

A novel that immerses the reader in an almost mystical world of Barcelona and shifts them into a completely different coordinate system. The reader will join the protagonist in meeting sinister strangers, understanding and falling in love with beautiful and mysterious women, wandering through the dark labyrinths of the past, and most importantly – unraveling the mystery of the book that incomprehensibly changes the lives of those who touch it. An amazing book that has it all: an engaging plot, brilliant style, and mind-bending mysteries.

About the author:
Carlos Ruiz Zafón is one of the most popular and best-selling Spanish-speaking authors in the world. His literary career began in 2001 with the publication of a series of novels for teenagers, but he gained worldwide fame with his first "adult" novel - "The Shadow of the Wind," which opened the trilogy "The Cemetery of Forgotten Books." 

About the trilogy:
"The Cemetery of Forgotten Books" consists of the novels "The Shadow of the Wind," "The Angel's Game," and "The Prisoner of Heaven." 
Zafón's books are an incredible journey. The mystical, enchanting atmosphere of Barcelona, a secret library that holds all the books in the world, mysteries and secrets, love and betrayal – there's everything here! Is it a historical novel or a thriller? A detective story or a love story? Defining the genre is nearly impossible, much like tearing oneself away from reading!
