Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles. To this library, a man brings his ten-year-old son, Daniel, one cold morn- ing in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and from the dusty shelves pulls The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax. But as Daniel grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find. What begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death of Juliån Carax and to save those he left behind. --back cover
La sombra del viento es una de esas lecturas que te enamoran de los libros en general.
This was an excellent read, and I found switching back and forth between the text and the audiobook added wonderful depth to the experience for me.
