The angel's game
Ruiz Zafon, Carlos (1964-)
The angel's game / Carlos Ruiz Zafón ; translated into English by Lucia Graves - 1st U. S. ed - New York : Doubleday , c2009. - 531 p. ; 20 cm.
Translated from the Spanish.
From master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of the international phenomenon "The Shadow of the Wind," a dazzling page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love. In the turbulent and mysterious Barcelona of the 1920s, David Martin, a young novelist obsessed with a forbidden love, receives an offer from an enigmatic publisher to write a book like no other before-- a book for which "people will live and die." In return, he is promised a fortune and, perhaps, much more. Once again, the author of "The Shadow of the Wind" takes us into the gothic universe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy, and a dizzingly constructed labyrinth of secrets where the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.
