The SHADOW of the WIND A NOVEL by CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN

translated by Lucia Graves Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the Cemetery of Lost Books, a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. In 1945, ten-year-old Daniel Sempere is taken there for the first time, by his widowed father, a bookseller, to choose one book to adopt. Daniel chooses The Shadow of the Wind by Julián Carax. With one fateful turn  of a page, he begins an adventure that will unravel another man’s tragedy and solve a mystery that has already taken many lives and will shape his entire future as he grows from boy to man. A page-turning exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead, this international best seller has been translated into more than 35 languages.
