When Carlos Ruiz Zafón published La Sombra del Viento (The Shadow of the Wind) in the most absolute of silences, nobody could imagine how deep this book from the Catalan writer would go in such a short time.

Set in post-war Barcelona, this novel tells the story of Daniel Sampere, the son of a bookkeeper who as a present in his first visit to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books decides to take with him a mysterious book: The Shadow of the Wind.

The thrill and mystery surrounding the book and its author Julian Carax, will trap Daniel to the point of drawing him personally into the plot. This book is a tremendous love story, with taints of mystery, tragedy and historic novel supported by a wonderful cast of characters.
