The Angel’s Game is a dazzling new story about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love. The first few pages of the story just unveil out lush descriptions of Barcelona, of the characters that inhabit her, the rising crescendo of the plot. The story’s main character is David martin --a young man working in a newspaper office. This young novelist obsessed with a forbidden love, receives an offer from an enigmatic publisher to write a book like no other before -- a book for which "people will live and die. In return, he is promised a fortune and perhaps much more.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon was born in Barcelona and is the author of six novels, including “The Shadow of the Wind”, the most successful novel in Spanish publishing history. His work has been translated into more than 35 languages and has received numerous international awards.
The resulting story is a huge success and becomes David's first step on the path to a career as an author. As David's books gain certain recognition, he receives a mysterious letter from a French editor called Andreas Corelli who wants to help him achieve his aims. But the character is not all that he seems and soon David has entered an agreement that will lead him question everything he values. He is also befriended by the bookseller Sempere who introduces him to the strange world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. From here this dark, gothic tale underscores the various situations like threads of a mystery, love, and friendship.
