Ndimakumbukira Ruiz Zafon. Zimandichitikira nthawi iliyonse ndikapeza buku lomwe limaloza ku zolemba za esoteric, zilankhulo zobisika, kununkhira kwa nzeru komwe kumasonkhanitsidwa m'mashelefu osatha mwina m'manda atsopano a mabuku ...
Ndipo zili bwino, zikhale choncho. Lingaliro lalikulu la wolemba Chikatalani ndi zomwe ali nazo ... Koma nthawi ino zili ndi a Alfonso del Rio zomwe zimatengera ngati pachimake pachinsinsi chake Bilbao adayesa ngati Barcelona ya Ruiz Zafón.
Kuchokera ku likulu la Biscay kupita ku zochitika zosiyanasiyana zaku Europe, ndikusinthanso nthawi zosiyanasiyana. Umu ndi momwe chinsinsi cholakwika chimapangidwira chomwe chimatitsogolera ndikubweretsa ife kunyengedwa ngati chinyengo cha wobwebweta wabwino.

Koma wina wakuda adazindikira chinsinsi chamdima kuchokera m'mbuyomu ndipo ali wokonzeka kuchita chilichonse kuti amire. CS Lewis ndi JRR Tolkien, abwenzi anu apamtima, azikuperekezani mosavomerezeka kuti mupange nkhani yabwino kwambiri yomwe idalembedwapo.
