Product Information

Emma ist gerade 16 geworden. Ihre beiden Loveinterests... nicht. Der eine ist Student und arbeitet auf ihrem Internat nebenher als Gärtner und findet es eine prima Idee, Emma als erstes Date in die lokale Bar mitzunehmen und so viel Bier zu spendieren, wie sie will. Der andere ist ehemaliger Schüler des Internats, der zu Besuch kommt. Ehemalig? Jepp. Er ist 20. Er hatte das Internat schon verlassen, bevor sie überhaupt dort angefangen hat. Der Freund, den er dabei hat, bandelt dann auch gleich mit Emmas bester Freundin an. And because we’re talking about books that you’ll often come to second-hand, the same goes for the material itself: you know you’re reading something that someone else has read. You don’t know how many hands it’s passed through. It’s that connection to times gone by; I like the idea that something that someone produced 20, 30, 50, 100 years ago still resonates with someone today. In their English-language editions, the books were greatly helped by early championing from Stephen King, usefully himself a populist novelist notably interested in meta-fiction, with many of his books involving writers tormented by their readers, characters or pseudonyms. And in the UK in particular, The Shadow of the Wind seems to have arrived at an opportune time. While the sought-after book that speaks secret volumes is a long-standing literary device (including in The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, a clear influence on Ruiz Zafón), it’s striking how many of his contemporaries also wrote about secret or forbidden libraries. When it was published in English, suppressed knowledge was central to two of the biggest hits of that year: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. And the two dominant literary sequences of the period – Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books – both feature significant sinister archives: the Unseen University of Ankh-Morpork and the roped-off Dark Arts section of the Hogwarts school library. By 2007, when Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief itself became another global hit, books within books had become a hugely lucrative publishing sub-genre. Emma is used to things going her way. Her father is headmaster of her prestigious boarding school, her friends take her advice as gospel, and she's convinced that a relationship with her long-time crush is on the horizon.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon – Books | Carlos Ruiz Zafón Author

The internet relies on the kindness of strangers. The good thing is that book lovers are everywhere and the fraternity is amazingly cooperative even when finding a book using a vague description. So, the next time you ask yourself, "what was that book?" try to recall any tiny detail of the book. Just one more thing I wanted to mention: I liked Emma's voice. She was a little immature and made mistakes, but she wasn't irritatingly immature; she realized when she made mistakes and was willing to admit it.You're curious, right? Yeah.. Inside here, there is something mysterious, magical, murder? and ancient myths that kept me interested *gasp* and hooked me in this autumn feels, until I graduated with a happily weepy heart! LOL

Unless you’ve written down every title you’ve ever read, from the moment you could read and write, this has happened to you: My reaction: I was on the fence for the first 5 or 6 chapters of this book, but really ended up enjoying it (and polishing it off in a day!). Initially I kept trying to figure out which character was supposed to represent which Austen character (as I knew the book was Austen-inspired) and I was seeing all the parallels. This was kind of distracting for me, especially considering that it pulled from both Emma and Pride & Prejudice, which seemed discordant, since it wasn't following one story or the other, but a mishmash. Why do you think discovering a ‘lost classic’ tends to feel so much more significant, more moving, than simply discovering a great new book? This book was a retelling of not one but two Jane Austen books and I couldn’t help myself but to try and figure out who was compared to whom at certain points. When I first saw this book on NetGalley, I crossed my fingers and toes that I would get approved for this title. Let’s talk about Caroline Slade’s book, Sterile Sun, published in 1936. I’d never heard of this and it sounds utterly fascinating.Die Story ist so vergesslich, dass ich dazu gar nicht erst was schreiben werde. Weil ich schon gar nichts mehr darüber weiß. Bis auf eine Sache.

Honestly, I still know the whole story/plot, because I've reread it A LOT. Mechthild Gläser did such a good job with this book, the story keeps being interesting the whole time, the characters are freaking cool and it has a dark, mysterious touch which I LOVE. Also, the mc is called Emma AND my name is Emma - that alone is a big plus factor ;) The fairy tale/fantasy element also added immensely to the story. It took a bit to get going but, especially as the book neared its climax, it really developed things. Very creative and imaginative! Emma besucht das Internat auf Schloss Stolzenburg. Beim Aufräumen der Bibliothek stößt sie zufällig auf eine alte Chronik des Schlosses. Beim Lesen merkt sie jedoch, dass es sich um eine Art Tagebuch handelt und dass Eintragungen in das Buch in Erfüllung gehen. Emma benutzt dies natürlich auch gleich, um selbst einige Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen zu lassen. Anfangen möchte sie mit dem unmöglichen Darcy de Winter, der sich aufführt, als gehöre ihm das Schloss. Emma merkt jedoch bald, dass ihre "Wünsche" aber nicht richtig ausgeführt werden und sich auch unnatürliche Sachen zutragen. So macht sie sich daran, herauszufinden, was es denn mit dem Buch auf sich hat. Und mit dem Faun, von dem im Buch ständig die Rede ist.

For Spain, the four books dramatise the lingering shadow of the Spanish civil war and the dictatorship of General Franco. Ruiz Zafón, who was 11 when Franco died, grew up in a Spain that would become a constitutional monarchy, a member of the EU, an ally of the US in Iraq – but increasingly struggled to hold on to Catalonia. In common with the best historical novelists, he wrote about his own times through older ones. The lost, lamented and redacted stories that form the spine of the quartet reflect the long historical willingness of the Spanish state, and its partner the Catholic church, to silence writers and writing.In the old days, you could have asked the librarian.
