Synopsis "Marina"

Carlos Ruiz Zafon's haunting gothic mystery, which has long been a cult classic in Spain and is now an international bestseller."We all have a secret buried under lock and key in the attic of our soul. This is mine."Fifteen-year-old Oscar Drai meets the strange Marina while he's exploring an old quarter of Barcelona. She leads Oscar to a cemetery, where they watch a macabre ritual that occurs on the last Sunday of each month. At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, a woman shrouded in a black velvet cloak descends from her carriage to place a single rose on an unmarked grave.When Oscar and Marina decide to follow her, they begin a journey that transports them to a forgotten postwar Barcelona-a world of aristocrats and actresses, inventors and tycoons--and reveals a dark secret that lies waiting in the mysterious labyrinth beneath the city streets.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón (1964-2020) is one of the most read and acclaimed authors of contemporary Spanish literature. Originally from Barcelona, Zafón captivated millions of readers around the world with his evocative prose, memorable characters, and masterful ability to weave mystery, intrigue, and deep emotions.

His most iconic work is "La Sombra del Viento", the first book of the globally famous saga The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. Published in more than 50 countries and translated into over 40 languages, this series transports readers to a Gothic Barcelona, where a love for books and family secrets become the core of thrilling plots.

Before dedicating himself to adult novels, Ruiz Zafón began his literary career writing children's literature, standing out with titles like "El Príncipe de la Niebla", which won the Edebé Award. His unique style, mixing magical realism with shades of noir, made him a universal literary reference.
