Status Updates From Marina, the Shadow of the W...

Amo amoooo, como escribe y como describe; como evoca cada escena, el tono irónico y su crítica humorística a la política española. Luzco profesora de literatura pero de verdad es necesaria la lectura.

Es solo Marina, pero es relectura así q elegí esta opción para no alterar la app … que decir, Carlos Ruiz Zafón escribe como no ha escrito nadie, es increíble como convierte cada frase en una oración contundente y poética sin resultar enrevesada. E.j: Lo vi perderse en la inmensidad de aquel edén maldito portando al gorrión en su último viaje ( hablando de cómo un gato se va con un gorrión en la boca)

Beginning to feel like I'm part of the scene in Barcelona. The aftermath of the Spanish Civil War permeates the novel---trauma continued well after the war even today as it informs Ruiz-Zafon's work.

they went to the old light house keeper and he told them a story and after they left they were talking and they dont belive that the story is true

A real rollercoaster of a ride! Sometimes laughing, other times practically crying, often on the edge of my seat and even yelling at the characters!

Spanish literature has certainly come into its own since the death of Franco who ruled Spain with an iron fist between 1939 and 1976 after usurping a democratically elected government. Literature suffered during his dictatorship and his henchmen murdered Federico Garcia Lorca, a world famous playwright and indirectly caused the deaths of Miguel de Unamuno and Antonio Machado. The novel resonates with the aftermath.
