Textul de pe ultima copertă
Barcelona,
1957.
It
is
Christmas,
and
Daniel
Sempere
and
his
wife,
Bea,
have
much
to
celebrate.
They
have
a
beautiful
new
baby
son
named
Julian,
and
their
close
friend
Fermin
Romero
de
Torres
is
about
to
be
wed.
But
their
joy
is
eclipsed
when
a
mysterious
stranger
visits
the
Sempere
bookshop
and
threatens
to
divulge
a
terrible
secret
that
has
been
buried
for
two
decades
in
the
city's
dark
past.
His
appearance
plunges
Fermin
and
Daniel
into
a
dangerous
adventure
that
will
take
them
back
to
the
1940s
and
the
dark
early
days
of
Franco's
dictatorship.
The
terrifying
events
of
that
time
launch
them
on
a
journey
fraught
with
jealousy,
suspicion,
vengeance,
and
lies.
Recenzii
“[A
novel]
with
the
blissful
narrative
drive
of
a
high-class
mystery…
Ruiz
Zafón
is
a
splendidly
solicitous
craftsman,
careful
to
give
the
reader
at
least
as
much
pleasure
as
he
is
evidently
having.”
“The story has heart, menace torture, kindness, cruelty, sacrifice, and a deep devotion to what makes humans tick.”
“Perhaps his wittiest [novel] and the darkest to date, a stylistic feat that Ruiz Zafon handles deftly…Savor this book.”
“Gripping…suspenseful…The magic of the novel is in the wonderfully constructed creepy and otherworldly setting, the likable characters, and the near-perfect dialogue.”
“Invoking the atmosphere of Dumas, Dickens, Poe and Garcia Marquez, Carlos Ruiz Zafon retains his originality and will hold his rightful place among the storytelling masters of literature.”
“Zafon’s storytelling is deft and well-paced, and his vivid prose brings the cultural riches and political strife of Franco-era Spain to life.”
“There is an air of magical realism to Zafón’s tales. The prose is robust and the dialogue rich with smart irony. But mostly, reading Zafón is great fun.”
“A deep and mysterious novel full of people that feel real…This is an enthralling read and a must-have for your library. Zafón focusses on the emotion of the reader and doesn’t let go.”
