En la turbulenta Barcelona de los años 20 un joven escritor obsesionado con un amor imposible recibe la oferta de un misterioso editor para escribir un libro como no ha existido nunca a cambio de una fortuna y tal vez mucho más. Con un estilo deslumbrante e impecable el autor de La Sombra del Viento nos transporta de nuevo a la Barcelona del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados para ofrecernos una gran aventura de intriga romance y tragedia a través de un laberinto de traición y secretos donde el embrujo de los libros la pasión y la amistad se conjugan en un relato magistral. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind comes a riveting masterpiece about love literature and betrayal. Like his previous novels Zafon s The Angel s Game is set in Barcelona and also revisits the mysterious Cemetery. It is however neither a sequel nor a prequel but an independent narrative that elaborates a coherent increasingly complex fictional universe. In this powerful labyrinthian thriller David Martín is a pulp fiction writer struggling to stay afloat. Holed up in a haunting abandoned mansion in the heart of Barcelona he furiously taps out story after story becoming increasingly desperate and frustrated. Thus when he is approached by a mysterious publisher offering a book deal that seems almost too good to be real David leaps at the chance. But as he begins the work and after a visit to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books he realizes that there is a connection between his book and the shadows that surround his dilapidated home and that the publisher may be hiding a few troubling secrets of his own. Once again Ruiz Zafón takes us into a dark gothic Barcelona and creates a breathtaking tale of intrigue romance and tragedy.
