Shadow of the wind. Carlos Ruiz Zafon. 2005.

Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the ‘Cemetry of Forgotten Books’, a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles. To this library, a man brings his ten-year-old son Daniel, one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book and from the dusty shelves pulls Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carac. But as Daniel grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find.nWhat begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death ofmJulian Carax and to save those he left behind.
