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.
