\nSHADOW OF THE WIND:
\nA boy named Daniel selects a novel from a library of rare books\, enjoying it so much that he searches for the rest of the author'\;s works\, only to discover that someone is destroying every book the author has ever written. Barcelona\, 1945-just after the war\, a great world city lies in shadow\, nursing its wounds\, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his eleventh birthday to find that he can no longer remember his mother'\;s face. To console his only child\, Daniel'\;s widowed father\, an antiquarian book dealer\, initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books\, a library tended by Barcelona'\;s guild of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world\, waiting for someone who will care about them again. Daniel'\;s father coaxes him to choose a volume from the spiraling labyrinth of shelves\, one that\, it is said\, will have a special meaning for him. And Daniel so loves the novel he selects\, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax\, that he sets out to find the rest of Carax'\;s work. To his shock\, he discovers that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book this author has written. In fact\, he may have the last one in existence. Before Daniel knows it his seemingly innocent quest has opened a door into one of Barcelona'\;s darkest secrets\, an epic story of murder\, magic\, madness and doomed love.
