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.

合上《风之影》,历时一个礼拜的阅读之旅暂时结束了,伴着达涅尔的婚礼和卡拉斯新生的写作之路的开始。一个礼拜的惊心动魄,悬念惊悚和阅读的愉悦重生,这种感觉乐此不疲地折磨着我,从第一页,到哪怕是温馨的结局,一刻未曾停息。书中讲了一个围绕了阅读的故事,书中的人,书...
評分合上《风之影》,历时一个礼拜的阅读之旅暂时结束了,伴着达涅尔的婚礼和卡拉斯新生的写作之路的开始。一个礼拜的惊心动魄,悬念惊悚和阅读的愉悦重生,这种感觉乐此不疲地折磨着我,从第一页,到哪怕是温馨的结局,一刻未曾停息。书中讲了一个围绕了阅读的故事,书中的人,书...
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...
評分在雾霭沉沉的巴塞罗那街头,在黎明的静寂之中,达涅尔被父亲紧紧地抓着小手,欢快地雀跃着。 这是《风之影》的封面,在书店的时候,我就看到过它,可是我没读,在书店的椅子上,要尽量读简短的文字,这是我的习惯。 后来,在朋友家,她说,这本书写得“特别好”,她是这样说...
評分必须得说,《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...
