    Synopsis

    En la turbulenta Barcelona de los años 20 un joven escritor obsesionado con un amor imposible recibe la oferta de un misterioso editor para escribir un libro como no ha existido nunca, a cambio de una fortuna y, tal vez, mucho más.

    Con estilo deslumbrante e impecable precisión narrativa, el autor de La sombra del viento nos transporta de nuevo a la Barcelona del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados para ofrecernos una gran aventura de intriga, romance y tragedia, a través de un laberinto de secretos donde el embrujo de los libros, la pasión y la amistad se conjugan en un relato magistral.

    Biography

    While Carlos Ruiz Zafón was first known for his books for young adults -- his El príncipe de la niebla (The Prince of Mist) earned the Edebé literary prize for young adult fiction in 1993 -- his first "adult" novel La sombra del viento (The Shadow of the Wind) garnered acclaim around the world and sparked what the author calls in our interview, a kind of “Zafón-mania."

    Una historia misteriosa estilo 'Twilight Zone' en españolby Anonymous

    Reader Rating:

    September 02, 2009: El Juego del Angel es una historia muy a la par de la novela previa de Ruiz Zafon, La Sombra del Viento: un escritor obscuro, enamorado de una mujer inalcanzable y un personaje misterioso; una libreria de barrio y el cementerio de los libros. La historia comienza muy lenta, no ocurren muchas cosas emocionantes sino hasta la ultima tercera parte del libro, cuando los personajes perifericos comienzan a ser asesinados uno a uno. El final si que es completamente inesperado y emocionante. La narrativa es muy a la española, y a menos que uno este muy familiarizado con la geografia de Barcelona antigua, es dificil orientarse. Pero el libro es ameno y vale la pena para unas vacaciones.

    I Also Recommend: La sombra del viento (The Shadow of the Wind).

    September 27, 2008: I loved Shadow of the wind and have been waiting anxiously for anything else from this amazing author. Knowing that Shadow of the Wind was a bestseller in 22 countries makes me wonder what the hold up is on getting his other books released in English. WE WANT MORE!
