LOS ANGELES: Leading Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafon, who scored an international hit with his Barcelona-based mystery “The Shadow of the Wind”, died on Friday, his publishing house said.“Today Carlos Ruiz Zafon has died, one of the best contemporary novelists. We will remember you forever, Carlos!” Planeta publishing house wrote on Twitter.“He will live on among us through his books,” it added.
“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.” “Shadow of the Wind” was an immediate hit and has since been translated into some 50 languages, selling millions of copies and becoming the first of a quartet of novels in his “Cemetery of Forgotten Books” series.
