Summary

«Todavía recuerdo aquel amanecer en que mi padre me llevó por primera vez a visitar el Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados.»

Un amanecer de 1945, un muchacho es conducido por su padre a un misterioso lugar oculto en el corazón de la ciudad vieja: el Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados. Allí, Daniel Sempere encuentra un libro maldito que cambia el rumbo de su vida y le arrastra a un laberinto de intrigas y secretos enterrados en el alma oscura de la ciudad. La Sombra del Viento es un misterio literario ambientado en la Barcelona de la primera mitad del siglo xx, desde los últimos esplendores del Modernismo hasta las tinieblas de la posguerra.

Aunando las técnicas del relato de intriga y suspense, la novela histórica y la comedia de costumbres, La Sombra del Viento es sobre todo una trágica historia de amor cuyo eco se proyecta a través del tiempo. Con gran fuerza narrativa, el autor entrelaza tramas y enigmas a modo de muñecas rusas en un inolvidable relato sobre los secretos del corazón y el embrujo de los libros cuya intriga se mantiene hasta el final.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

I love it!!

I've read this book years ago, I liked it so much I downloaded this audible to enjoy it again. Oh my world! this experience exceeded my expectations, the Narrator is beyond brilliant. I got the Spanish version. I'm so happy I'm going to continue the whole collection with this narrator. Thank you so much for making this fabulous book even more. I'm really grateful 🙏

My favourite Spanish book....so far

This book is a great story for any advanced learners of Spanish. The narration of the audiobook and the characters is very good. I would highly recommend.

Revivir la historia

Leí este libro hace mucho tiempo. Me ha encantado volver a revivir sus páginas. Me sorprendió lo enganchado que me tenía la voz y los tempos de Jordi.

Narración espléndida

Una historia interesante, a veces demasiado rococo en las descripciones, perl la narracion es esplendida, me hizo reir mucho!

Una gran novela

Es un libro de esos que te engancha con la historia, y en los que ves parecido con algunos personajes o incluso las circunstancias que vivieron es aquella España de postguerra y odio perecne. Cuesta dejar de leer!!! Y con una flamante facilidad literaria va cambiando la historia haciendo muy dificil imaginar que sera lo proximo en acontecer. Muy recomendable.

Excellent book and great narration

Very additive after just 5 min. One gets fully immersed in the world of the 1940-50’s Barcelona. The plot twists and turns in the most unpredictable ways. In the Spanish version, the narration itself is a big plus.
Looking forward to book #2!
