Zafón ha uno stile brillante, fluido e coinvolgente che rende difficile interrompere la lettura. Una storia intrisa di mistero e colpi di scena, che coinvolge sentimentalmente a 360 gradi: si ride, si piange, ci si infuria e alla fine, dopo un tremendo colpo al cuore che toglie il respiro, si torna a gioire. Dopo poche pagine, Daniel e Julián diventano nostri amici e quando si chiude l'ultima pagina resta un sorriso amaro perché bisogna salutarli e lasciarli alle loro vite, consapevoli che d'ora in poi ognuno di questi personaggi farà sempre un po' parte della nostra vita. Emozionante e incalzante, la combo perfetta, coronata da una scrittura sapiente e accattivante. Consigliatissimo!

"Anyone who enjoys novels that are scary, erotic, touching, tragic and thrilling should rush right out to the nearest bookstore and pick up The Shadow of the Wind. Really, you should." —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post “Wondrous...masterful...The Shadow of the Wind is ultimately a love letter to literature, intended for readers as passionate about storytelling as its young hero.” —Entertainment Weekly, Editor's Choice “This is one gorgeous read.” —Stephen King "I still remember the day my father took me to the Cemetary of Forgotten Books for the first time..." Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer’s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julián Carax. But when he sets out to find the author’s other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax’s books in existence. Soon Daniel’s seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona’s darkest secrets—an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.
