One dawn in 1945, a boy is led by his father to a mysterious hidden place in the heart of the old city: The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. There, Daniel Sempere finds a cursed book that will change the course of his life and drag him into a labyrinth of intrigue and secrets buried in the dark soul of the city.

The Shadow of the Wind is a literary mystery set in Barcelona in the first half of the 20th century, from the last splendors of Modernism to the darkness of the postwar period. The Shadow of the Wind blends techniques of a thriller, a historical novel, and a comedy of manners, but it is, above all, a historical tragedy of love whose echoes resonate throughout time. With great narrative power, the author weaves together plots and enigmas like Russian dolls in an unforgettable story about the secrets of the heart and the enchantment of books, maintaining the intrigue until the last page.
