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.

阅读的艺术正在缓慢地消逝,看书是很私密的活动,一本书就象一面镜子,我们必须有足够的内省力,才能在书中观照自我。——贝亚 小时侯,有一度我的理想是做一名图书管理员。从初中开始,常常省下午餐的钱用来买书买杂志,就很羡慕图书馆里的那些工作人员,他们可以免费看所有...
評分本来想一本正经写个推荐文的,标题我都想好了: “为什么你不能错过这本西班牙王牌小说” 但是脑子里想到的全是牢骚和吐槽,所以干脆写这个吧 反正《焚舟纪》都10000想读了也卖不好 也就不在乎《风之影》一篇编辑手记要写得多么优美了 嗝~ 《风之影》不是一本新书 豆瓣上粗略一...
評分for 南方都市报阅读周刊 阅读《风之影》,就像揭开一个个俄罗斯套娃,抑或一层层地剥开洋葱;或许,将此阅读体验比作在雾中行走更为妥贴。当城市笼上一层薄薄的雾,景物的轮廓、远近反而会呈现出一种层次感。于是,当人行走在雾中,远处那原本似幻如影的谜会渐渐明晰,那种谜...
評分当一本书,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...
評分很久没读到这么精彩的小说,从介绍里的只言片语提到“遗忘书之墓”开始。一直以来都有个怪异的习惯,喜欢旧的书,喜欢那些泛着黄的纸张,不知道记录了多少人的摩挲和渴望的目光,时间在每一页都留下了书以外的故事,我确信每一本书都有他自己的生命,都有一个书以外的故事...
