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!
Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Barcelona, 1945--just after the war, a great world city lies in shadow, nursing its wounds, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his eleventh birthday to find that he can no longer remember his mother's face. To console his only child, Daniel's widowed father, an antiquarian book dealer, initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library tended by Barcelona's guild of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world, waiting for someone who will care about them again. Daniel's father coaxes him to choose a volume from the spiraling labyrinth of shelves, one that, it is said, will have a special meaning for him. And Daniel so loves the novel he selects, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax, that he sets out to find the rest of Carax's work. To his shock, he discovers that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book this author has written. In fact, he may have the last one in existence. Before Daniel knows it his seemingly innocent quest has opened a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets, an epic story of murder, magic, madness, and doomed love. And before long he realizes that if he doesn't find out the truth about Julian Carax, he and those closest to him will suffer horribly
