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.

在读完卡洛斯·鲁伊斯·萨丰的小说《风之影》前,我一直不知道原来西班牙人也能写出这样悲伤的故事。西班牙的艺术,多半像阿莫多瓦的电影那样,色彩秾艳,纠缠着炽热的欲望。萨丰的故乡巴塞罗那,偎依在湛蓝的地中海怀抱中,总是艳阳高照少有阴霾,而在萨丰笔下,这座城市还没...
评分《风之影》像黑暗河流上的一条静静的船,载着我在回忆的水面上回到过去的时光。 真相直到最后一刻才被揭晓,炽热的感情,痛苦的过去,哀伤的回忆,残酷的岁月,都在往日的尘埃一点点落尽的时候,抽丝剥茧显现出原本的模样。荣华富贵和爱情都像无常的人生一样脆弱,一个拐角之...

评分当一本书,被施下“只要翻开就务必全心全意阅读”的魔法,中盅的读者流连其间,便再也听闻不到时钟的叹息,任由时间从指间、耳际、书脊的阴影里悄然溜走——并顺手偷去了你的睡意,掠去你撒在来路,作为归途标识的面包屑。此时,亲爱的,与其徒唤奈何,抱怨着自己的不小心,徘...
评分令人最为着迷的,是书中诗一般富有情感与智慧的语言。不禁佩服译者,一部翻译作品,且不论是否做到了“信”与“达”,能做到中文的雅致与流畅就已是非常不易了,何况还能如此优美,令人回味。 隽永的句子俯拾皆是,不过,最打动我的,不是努丽亚那句“世上还有比文字世界更难...
