Dans la Barcelone de l'après-guerre civile, «ville des prodiges» marquée par la défaite, la vie est difficile, les haines rôdent toujours.
Par un matin brumeux de 1945, un homme emmène son petit garçon - Daniel Sempere, le narrateur - dans un lieu mystérieux du quartier gothique : le Cimetière des Livres Oubliés. L'enfant, qui rêve toujours de sa mère morte, est ainsi convié par son père, modeste boutiquier de livres d'occasion, à un étrange rituel qui se transmet de génération en génération : il doit y «adopter» un volume parmi des centaines de milliers. Là, il rencontre le livre qui va changer le cours de sa vie, le marquer à jamais et l'entraîner dans un labyrinthe d'aventures et de secrets «enterrés dans l'âme de la ville» : L'Ombre du Vent.
Avec ce tableau historique, roman d'apprentissage évoquant les émois de l'adolescence, récit fantastique dans la pure tradition du Fantôme de l'Opéra ou du Maître et Marguerite, énigme où les mystères s'emboîtent comme des poupées russes, Carlos Ruiz Zafón mêle inextricablement la littérature et la vie.

Work Description

Un amanecer de 1945, un muchacho es conducido por su padre a un misterioso lugar oculto en el corazón de la ciudad vieja: el Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados. Allí, Daniel Sempere encuentra un libro maldito que cambia el rumbo de su vida y le arrastra a un laberinto de intrigas y secretos enterrados en el alma oscura de la ciudad. La Sombra del Viento es un misterio literario ambientado en la Barcelona de la primera mitad del siglo xx, desde los últimos esplendores del Modernismo hasta las tinieblas de la posguerra.

Aunando las técnicas del relato de intriga y suspense, la novela histórica y la comedia de costumbres, La Sombra del Viento es sobre todo una trágica historia de amor cuyo eco se proyecta a través del tiempo. Con gran fuerza narrativa, el autor entrelaza tramas y enigmas a modo de muñecas rusas en un inolvidable relato sobre los secretos del corazón y el embrujo de los libros cuya intriga se mantiene hasta la última página.

Todavía recuerdo aquel amanecer en que mi padre me llevó por primera vez a visitar El Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados
