Wunderbare Literatur
Zafón schlüpft - als Icherzähler - in die Rolle eines Mannes dessen Leben von einem Buch begleitet wird. Als Zehnjährigen nimmt ihn sein Vater zu einer geheimen Versammlung (genannt Friedhof der Vergessenen Bücher) MIT, where he must choose a book for which he will in future take over sole responsibility. From a seemingly infinite choice, he chooses "The Shadow of the Wind" by an unknown English author which was published in Paris. A very special book it will be observed in the course of the text still is.
The book is wonderful, linguistically, it is certainly to start with the great novelists. A statement which of course only stock which is when, as here, the translator has done a really good job. Zafón succeed in an uneventful first book to build tension. But above all, by his linguistic ability, he captivates the reader of the book Buch.Ein I am ready and willing to be classified in the major contemporary books. The book was read from first page to last fun. It is comparable with the also excellent book night train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier . A clear recommendation for my part.See also: review of Night Train to Lisbon
