In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city’s underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.

Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed — a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.

Once again, Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in The Shadow of the Wind and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. Through a dizzyingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.]]> 2008 5 8 false Tue Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 06:27:58 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 17 13:07:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 28260486 386411 3235346 030745536X 9780307455369 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/32/346/3235346-m-1256159630.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/32/346/3235346-s-1256159630.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3235346.El_Juego_del_ngel 5.00 1 El Juego del Ángel, el autor de La Sombra del Viento vuelve al cautivador mundo de la Barcelona del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados para sumergirnos de nuevo en una apasionante historia de traición, tragedia y amor.

David Martín es un joven periodista y aspirante a escritor en los años 20 que pasa rápidamente de escribir en un pequeño diario local a publicar novelas, primero bajo pseudónimo y más tarde bajo su propio nombre. Al mismo tiempo, espoleado por la mujer que ama, Cristina Sagnier, reescribe secretamente la novela de su amigo y mentor Pedro Vidal. Cuando las dos novelas ven la luz, la suya es vapuleada por la crítica mientras que la de Vidal se convierte en un éxito. David, hundido, aceptará entonces la misteriosa propuesta del editor Andrea Corelli de escribir “una historia por la que los hombres sean capaces de vivir y morir”.

Entretanto, David se introduce al fascinante universo del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados, donde las reglas le permiten “salvar” un sólo libro. La elección del inquietante Lux Aeterna, escrito por un hombre con sus mismas iniciales D.M., no será tan casual como David cree. Mientras escribe el libro y a la vez trata de poner orden en su vida, David se verá envuelto en una absorbente trama con Andrea Corelli, Pedro Vidal, Cristina Sagnier y el enigmático escritor D.M., cuyo descenso a los infiernos replica escalofriantemente el del propio David.

El Juego del Ángel es 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.]]> 2008 5 9 false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jul 25 09:09:22 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 09 17:58:02 -0800 2009 The Shadow of the Wind.

The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that when I opened those windows — my new windows — each evening its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets in my ear, that I could catch on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen…

In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city’s underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.

Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed — a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.
