THE CITY OF MIST
THE LAST BOOK BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SHADOW OF THE WIND
CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN
Comprising eleven stories, most never before published in English, The City of Mist is Ruiz Zafon's tribute to the countless thousands of readers who joined him on the extraordinary journey through the mysterious gothic world of his beloved Cemetery of Forgotten Books quartet. A boy decides to become a writer when he discovers that his creative gifts capture the attentions of an aloof young beauty who has stolen his heart. A labyrinth maker flees Constantinople to a plague ridden Barcelona, with plans for building a library impervious to the destruction of time. A strange gentleman tempts Cervantes to write a book like no other, each page of which could prolong the life of the woman he loves. And a brilliant Catalan architect named Antoni Gaudì reluctantly agrees to cross the ocean to New York, a voyage that will determine the fate of an unfinished masterpiece.
