Overview
Step into the shadowy, book-lined streets of Barcelona with this complete four-novel paperback set from Carlos Ruiz Zafon's internationally acclaimed Cemetery of Forgotten Books series. Spanning decades of intrigue, romance and gothic mystery, these four interlinked tales follow the Sempere family and the secret library at the heart of the city. A perfect introduction or a treasured re-read for fans of atmospheric literary fiction, this collection brings the full saga together in one beautifully packaged set, ideal for gifting or building a personal library.
About the Books
The saga opens with The Shadow of the Wind, in which young Daniel Sempere discovers a forgotten novel in the secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books and is drawn into a dangerous hunt for its mysterious, vanished author. The Angel's Game turns back the clock to introduce David Martin, a troubled young writer working in a crumbling Barcelona mansion, whose ghost-written manuscripts hide a far darker bargain than he realises. In The Prisoner of Heaven, set a decade after the events of the first novel, Daniel and his loyal friend Fermin confront a menacing visitor from Fermin's past, unravelling secrets buried since the Spanish Civil War. The saga concludes with The Labyrinth of the Spirits, a sweeping finale that reunites every thread of the story as a new investigator, Alicia Gris, is drawn into the Cemetery's darkest mysteries. Together, the four novels form a richly atmospheric, gothic-tinged tetralogy prized for its intricate plotting, vivid Barcelona settings and unforgettable cast of booksellers, writers and secret-keepers. Each volume can be read as a satisfying standalone story, but read in sequence they build into one of modern literary fiction's most celebrated sagas.
