The Shadow of the Wind

the long version

It is 1945 and Barcelona is enduring the long aftermath of civil war when Daniel Sempere’s bookseller father decides his son is old enough to visit the secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books. There Daniel must ‘adopt’ a single book, promising to care for it and keep it alive always. His choice falls on The Shadow of the Wind. This edition of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s much-loved bestseller includes chapter one of his new literary sensation The Angel’s Game, which will be published by Text in June.Bewitched
