The international literary sensation-a runaway bestseller in Spain, rights sold in more than 20 countries-about a boy's quest through the secrets and shadows of postwar Barcelona for a mysterious author whose book has proved as dangerous to own as it is impossible to forget.
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.
As with all astounding novels, The Shadow of the Wind sends the mind groping for comparisons-The Crimson Petal and the White? The novels of Arturo Pérez-Reverte? Of Victor Hugo? Love in the Time of Cholera?-but in the end, as with all astounding novels, no comparison can suffice. As one leading Spanish reviewer wrote, "The originality of Ruiz Zafón's voice is bombproof and displays a diabolical talent. The Shadow of the Wind announces a phenomenon in Spanish literature." An uncannily absorbing historical mystery, a heart-piercing romance, and a moving homage to the mystical power of books, The Shadow of the Wind is a triumph of the storyteller's art.

西班牙人是热情的?冲动的?感性的?容易激动的?如果是,那用来写一部悲剧小说,实在很难和中国人的胃口。 “大故事套小故事,节外生枝的故事。不算宏大叙事的大部头。推动情节发展的不是人物性格,而是作者略显牵强的逻辑。” 近500页的书密密麻麻的印着字,近年来少有的读...
评分【這是三年前的書評,當時文筆滯澀,毫無靈氣;當然,現在也是如此╮(╯▽╰)╭】 记不得这是第几次重读萨丰的 《风之影》了,每一次阅读都沉醉在小说里巴塞罗那的光与影之中。铅灰色的天空,灰暗的迷雾,跌宕起伏的故事情节,哀伤的故事在内战创伤笼罩下的城市缓缓...
评分痴迷即魔障 于是 旧书店是个我一直不敢去的地方,虽然我爱书。因为我坚信,一个人拥有过一本书之后,会遗留个体的气味、气质、乃至回忆在一本书中。我不敢轻易拥有一本年头久远的旧书,就好像不愿意把一面古镜放在卧室里。我想,这是因为我过于看重书的私人性了。 所以,当...
评分必须得说,《风之影》这本书并没我想象中那么好看。这是我不知道第几次被豆瓣书评忽悠了,上次买了《一把雨伞给这天用》,没翻几页就搁在那里长灰,《特别的猫》一点都不特别,被我拿去垫枕头了。豆瓣人喜欢的书籍风格似乎进入了一个误区,偏重语言的技巧却忽略了更重要的情节...
评分(媒体用稿,转载请著出处《新世纪周刊》) 如果你曾到过巴塞罗那,安东尼奥·高迪的名字你大概不会忘记。巴塞罗那人久久无法忘怀这位拥有疯狂激情的建筑设计师,才会将自己的城市命名为“高迪之城”。只想享受阳光与地中海美景的游客们会惊叹,这个古怪的建筑家把自己...
