A MAGICAL HARD EDITION TO MARK 20 YEARS OF THE LITERARY MYSTERY THAT BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER . . .
In the first ray of sunlight in post-war Barcelona, a bookseller leads his son through the foggy streets to a library hidden in the heart of the old city. Here, in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, are shelves filled with stories forgotten by the world, waiting for someone to take an interest in them again. Ten-year-old Daniel is allowed to choose just one to protect, and he selects "The Shadow of the Wind" by Julián Carax.
But when Daniel begins to search for the author's other books, he discovers a shocking truth: someone is doggedly determined to burn every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence. Before he knows it, his seemingly innocent quest has plunged him into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets, and he finds himself entangled in an epic story of murder, magic, and doomed love.
Since the first release of "The Shadow of the Wind," more than 20 million readers have opened a heavy wooden door, entered the haunted world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, and fallen in love. This modern classic brings to life the gothic streets and hidden corners of Barcelona, reminding us of the ultimate power of a well-told story . . .
