The Barcelona of Carlos Ruiz Zafón. A Guide

An updated edition of the literary guide to Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s Barcelona, now including references to the author’s three most recent works. Published on the 25th anniversary of The Shadow of the Wind.

An exciting journey through the real and the imagined city, between the present day and the era of Zafón’s novels. Sergi Doria, a leading expert on Ruiz Zafón’s work, takes us through the Barcelona settings of the four novels that make up The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, as well as The City of Mist and Marina.

Through a series of routes devoted to the different neighborhoods featured in Zafón’s books, we explore the streets, squares, and buildings that inspired the novelist or that he brought to life in his fiction. Thanks to Doria, readers can uncover hidden details and gain insight into the historical context behind these locations, enriching both the reading experience and any walk through the city of Barcelona.

This edition includes the settings of the author’s latest works, making it a comprehensive guide to the Barcelona of Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
