The Shadow of the Wind
The New York Times bestseller
“The Shadow of the Wind is ultimately a love letter to literature, intended for readers as passionate about storytelling as its young hero.” —Entertainment Weekly (Editor's Choice)
“One gorgeous read.” —Stephen King
Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer’s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julián Carax. But when he sets out to find the author’s other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax’s books in existence. Soon Daniel’s seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona’s darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.

Mi afición a los dragones viene de largo. Barcelona es ciudad de dragones, que adornan o vigilan muchas de sus fachadas, y me temo que yo soy uno de ellos. Quizás por eso, por solidaridad con el pequeño monstruo, hace ya muchos años que los colecciono y les ofrezco refugio en mi casa, dragonera al uso. Al día de hoy ya son más de 400 criaturas dragonas las que hacen mi censo, que aumenta cada mes. Además de haber nacido en el año, por supuesto, del dragón, mis vínculos con estas bestias verdes que respiran fuego son numerosos. Somos criaturas nocturnas, aficionadas a las tinieblas, no particularmente sociables, poco amigas de hidalgos y caballeros andantes y difíciles de conocer.
