  ) Jonatas.Bakas | Jun 12, 2023 |  História de um livro dentro de outro livro, de um autor misterioso, de gente só e de ausências, que se confundem com as próprias vidas dos protagonistas do outro livro. Confuso? Não, de todo. Na verdade é muito fácil de seguir e tudo o que vai ficando em suspenso encontra resposta no final. Não há pontas soltas e o autor deu a todas as personagens o seu final, até às menos relevantes na narrativa. As personagens podem-se dividir em dois grupos: de um lado e num clima familiar e amigável; as irónicas e divertidas, sempre com uma resposta afiada na ponta da língua tornando os diálogos deliciosos. Do outro - os funestos - movem-se num ambiente sombrio, espelho de uma Barcelona que viveu dias negros de perseguições e morte. Desde o inicio do livro que se adivinha que por ali há um segredo tenebroso, um clima que pressagia uma desgraça qualquer,que nos vai envolvendo, mas só a poucas páginas de ser revelado se insinua a suspeita do que poderá ser. E é. Uma partida do destino tão injusta que dói e revolta. No final, a ideia de que o passado ficou lá atrás cai por terra. Volta com a força de um tornado,derruba sem piedade e com o peso esmagador do arrependimento, para devorar os restos daqueles farrapos de gente. Foram páginas duras, de vingança, mas também de perdão e reconciliação. Os últimos parágrafos são quase uma cópia da primeira página. Acaba como começou, dando continuidade à cumplicidade e à paixão pelos livros. Um livro extraordinário. Vai para a prateleira dos especias.

 It's lowdown and lazy, but here goes: ''Gabriel García Márquez meets Umberto Eco meets Jorge Luis Borges'' for a sprawling magic show, exasperatingly tricky and mostly wonderful, by the Spanish novelist Carlos Ruiz Zafón. The three illustrious meeters must surely have been drinking and they weave about a little, but steady remarkably as the pages go by. Als een boekverkoper zijn tienjarige zoon meeneemt naar het paleisachtige, geheimzinnige Kerkhof der Vergeten Boeken, raakt Daniel betoverd door De schaduw van de wind. Hij neemt zich voor achter de identiteit van de schrijver Julian Carax te komen. Sterker nog: hij lijkt het leven van deze mysterieuze man te gaan leven. Tegen de achtergrond van het Barcelona van de Burgeroorlog en Franco ontrolt zich een fascinerend verhaal, of feitelijk vele verhalen over figuren die zich in de nabijheid van Carax ophielden én mensen rondom Daniel. De structuur van het verhaal is als een Russische pop, die eindeloos veel kleinere poppen in zich heeft verstopt. Carlos Ruiz Zafon (1964) heeft een fantasierijke, knappe roman geschreven vol avontuur, spanning, en liefde, die je in één adem uitleest. Zijn taalgebruik is prachtig, zijn belezenheid groot en de vertaling is vloeiend. Velen zullen van deze onderhoudende, intelligente roman genieten. The Shadow of the Wind is a dream date for those who love books.... For fans of Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco and other writers who craft twisting and turning plots with complex characterization, The Shadow of the Wind is not to be missed.

A boy named Daniel selects a novel from a library of rare books, enjoying it so much that he searches for the rest of the author's works, only to discover that someone is destroying every book the author has ever written. Barcelona, 1945-just after the war, a great world city lies in shadow, nursing its wounds, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his eleventh birthday to find that he can no longer remember his mother's face. To console his only child, Daniel's widowed father, an antiquarian book dealer, initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library tended by Barcelona's guild of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world, waiting for someone who will care about them again. Daniel's father coaxes him to choose a volume from the spiraling labyrinth of shelves, one that, it is said, will have a special meaning for him. And Daniel so loves the novel he selects, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax, that he sets out to find the rest of Carax's work. To his shock, he discovers that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book this author has written. In fact, he may have the last one in existence. Before Daniel knows it his seemingly innocent quest has opened a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets, an epic story of murder, magic, madness and doomed love. And before long he realizes that if he doesn't find out the truth about Julian Carax, he and those closest to him will suffer horribly. As with all astounding novels, The Shadow of the Wind sends the mind groping for comparisons- The Crimson Petal and the White? The novels of Arturo Peacute-Reverte? Of Victor Hugo? Love in the Time of Cholera ?-but in the end, as with all astounding novels, no comparison can suffice. As one leading Spanish reviewer wrote, ldquo. The originality of Ruiz Zafoacute's voice is bombproof and displays a diabolical talent. The Shadow of the Wind announces a phenomenon in Spanish literature. An uncannily absorbing historical mystery, a heart-piercing romance, and a moving homage to the mystical power of books, The Shadow of the Wind is a triumph of the storyteller's art.
