Paperback, 224 pages

United States, 1 December 2020

Carlos Ruiz Zafon concibio esta obra como un reconocimiento a sus lectores, que le habian seguido a lo largo de la saga iniciada con La Sombra del Viento.

"Puedo conjurar rostros de chiquillos del barrio de la Ribera con los que a veces jugaba o peleaba en la calle, pero ninguno que quisiera rescatar del pais de la indiferencia. Ninguno excepto el de Blanca".

Un muchacho decide hacerse escritor al descubrir que sus invenciones le regalan un rato mas de interes por parte de la nina rica que le ha robado el corazon. Un arquitecto huye de Constantinopla con los planos de una biblioteca inexpugnable. Un extrano caballero tienta a Cervantes para que escriba un libro como no ha existido jamas. Y Gaudi, navegando hacia una misteriosa cita en Nueva York, se deleita con la luz y el vapor, la materia de la que deberian estar hechas las ciudades.

El eco de los grandes personajes y motivos de las novelas de El Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados resuena en los cuentos de Carlos Ruiz Zafon -reunidos por primera vez, y algunos de ellos ineditos- en los que prende la magia del narrador que nos hizo sonar como nadie.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A posthumous story collection. Carlos Ruiz Zafon conceived this work as a recognition of his readers who had followed him along the saga begun with The Shadow of the Wind.

"I can conjure the faces of the kids of the Ribera neighborhood with whom I sometimes played or fought in the street, but none which I would like to rescue from the land of indifference. None but that of Blanca."

A boy decides to become a writer when he finds out that his inventions give him a few moments more with a rich girl who has stolen his heart. An architect flees from Constantinople with the plans of an unassailable library. A strange knight challenges Cervantes to write a book as has never existed before. And Gaudi, navegating to a mysterious meeting in New York, delights in light and steam, the matter cities should be made of.

The echo of the great characters and motives of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books novels resonates in theses stories by Carlos Ruiz Zafon -gathered together for the first time, and some of them unpublished so far- turning on the magic of the narrator who made us dream like nobody else.
