Carlos Ruiz Zafón was one of the world’s most read and
best-loved writers. His work has been translated into more than
forty languages and published around the world, garnering numerous
international prizes and reaching millions of readers. He was the
author of The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game, The Prince of
Mist, The Midnight Palace, The Prisoner of Heaven, and, most

Robert Graves.
"If you thought the true gothic novel died with the nineteenth
century, this will change your mind...This is one gorgeous read."
—Stephen King
“Gabriel Garcia Marquez meets Umberto Eco meets Jorge Luis Borges
for a sprawling magic show....We are taken on a wild ride that
executes its hairpin bends with breathtaking lurches.” —The
New York Times Book Review
"Once again I have encountered a book that proves how wonderful it
is to become immersed in a rich, long novel...This novel has it
all: seduction, danger, revenge, and a mystery that the author
teases with mastery. Zafon has outdone even the mighty Charles
Dickens." —The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Anyone who enjoys novels that are scary, erotic, touching, tragic
and thrilling should rush right out to the nearest bookstore and
pick up The Shadow of the Wind. Really, you should.” —Michael
Dirda, The Washington Post
“Wonderous . . . masterful . . . 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
