Title : The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafón - book
Summary : In post-Civil War Barcelona, a "City of Wonders" marked by defeat, life is difficult, hatred still lurks. One foggy morning in 1945, a man takes his little boy—Daniel Sempere, the narrator—to a mysterious place in the Gothic Quarter: the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. The child, who still dreams of his dead mother, is thus invited by his father, a modest second-hand bookseller, to a strange ritual passed down from generation to generation: he must "adopt" a volume from among hundreds of thousands. There, he encounters the book that will change the course of his life, mark him forever, and draw him into a labyrinth of adventures and secrets "buried in the soul of the city": The Shadow of the Wind . With this historical tableau, a coming-of-age novel evoking the emotions of adolescence, a fantastic tale in the pure tradition of The Phantom of the Opera or The Master and Margarita , an enigma where the mysteries fit together like Russian dolls, Carlos Ruiz Zafón inextricably mixes literature and life.

It is the story of a boy who is melancholic because he grew up in a country that committed suicide, raised by parents depressed by the failure of their marriage.

It contains some splendid pages. What it has lost in aggression, it has gained in sophistication. In lyricism, even. […] its humor is intact. The Express.

Title : Body and Soul - Frank Conroy - book
Summary : In New York in the 1940s, a child watches, through the bars of the basement window where he is locked, the shoes of passersby walking on the sidewalk. Poor, with no protection other than that of an eccentric mother, Claude Rawlings seems destined to remain a spectator of an inaccessible world. But in the back room, buried under a mountain of old papers, lies a small, out-of-tune piano. By deciphering the secrets of its keyboard, Claude, as if by magic, will discover himself: he is a musician. This book is the story of a man whose life is transfigured by a gift. His journey, at the end of a road marked by a thousand encounters, friendships, and romantic loves, will take him to the salons of the rich and powerful, and all the way to Carnegie Hall... Music, of course, is at the center of the book - classical music, serious and moral, but also jazz whose very contemporary rhythm makes its irresistible pulse heard from one end of the novel to the other. Around it, in a vast Dickensian fresco, teeming with characters, Frank Conroy paints a fascinating, funny, picturesque and sometimes cruel picture of a New York in full mutation.
