At dawn in 1945, a boy is taken by his father to a mysterious hidden place in the heart of the old city: The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. There, Daniel Sempere finds a cursed book that changes the course of his life and drags him into a labyrinth of intrigue and secrets buried in the dark soul of the city. The Shadow of the Wind is a literary mystery set in Barcelona of the first half of the century, from the last splendours of Modernism to the post-war darkness. A powerful narrative, which combines intrigue, historical romance, comedy and customs, but which is above all a memorable tragedy of love whose echo is projected through time. The author intertwines plots and enigmas in an unforgettable plot of the secrets of the heart and the spell of the books, keeping the suspense until the last page. All the mystery and emotions of the literary universe of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books.

A thrilling, profoundly moving, and utterly unique retelling of the legend of Achilles and the Trojan War from the bestselling author of Circe. A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer's enduring masterwork, The Iliad. An action-packed adventure, an epic love story, a marvellously conceived and executed page-turner, Miller's monumental debut novel has already earned resounding acclaim from some of contemporary fiction's brightest lights—and fans of Mary Renault, Bernard Cornwell and Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series will delight in this unforgettable journey back to ancient Greece in the Age of heroes.

Considered a masterpiece of English literature, Jane Eyre is a novel by the English writer Charlotte Brontë, published in the 19th century, more precisely in 1847. Jane Eyre is a fictionalized autobiography of the protagonist who, after a childhood and adolescence devoid of affection, becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with its owner, Mr. Rochester. Fully reciprocated in her feelings, Jane thinks she has found the love she has longed for all her life, but Thornfield Hall hides a dark secret that threatens to overshadow her happiness. In a mysterious and unforgettable atmosphere, we accompany this heroine with a pure and passionate spirit, who fights a constant inner struggle to stay true to her convictions and herself. A story about human freedom, full of dramatic elements (fires, storms, assassination attempts) that make up an atmosphere of mystery and suspense.
