Krátky popis
Ruiz Zafón's novel, a bestseller in his native Spain, takes the
satanic touches from Angel Heart and stirs them into a bookish
intrigue &,#224, la Foucault's Pendulum. The time is the 1950s,
the place, Barcelona. Daniel Sempere, the son of a widowed
bookstore owner, is 10 when he discovers a novel, The Shadow of the
Wind, by Julián Carax. The novel is rare, the author obscure, and
rumors tell of a horribly disfigured man who has been burning every
copy he can find of Carax's novels. The man calls himself Laín
Coubert-the name of the devil in one of Carax's novels. As he grows
up, Daniel's fascination with the mysterious Carax links him to a
blind femme fatale with a ",porcelain gaze,", Clara Barceló,
another fan, a leftist jack-of-all-trades, Fermín Romero de Torres,
his best friend's sister, the delectable Beatriz Aguilar, and, as
he begins investigating the life and death of Carax, a cast of
characters with secrets to hide. Officially, Carax's dead body was
dumped in an alley in 1936. But discrepancies in this story
surface. Meanwhile, Daniel and Fermín are being harried by a
sadistic policeman, Carax's childhood friend. As Daniel's quest
continues, frightening parallels between his own life and Carax's
begin to emerge. Ruiz Zafón strives for a literary tone, and no
scene goes by without its complement of florid, cute and inexact
similes and metaphors (snow is ",God's dandruff",, servants obey
orders with ",the efficiency and submissiveness of a body of
well-trained insects",). Yet the colorful cast of characters, the
gothic turns and the straining for effect only give the book the
feel of para-literature or the Hollywood version of a great
19th-century novel.
