If I were to lose one day, I look for in a railway station

Marina

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

mpre if Barcelona is one of those cities was able to evoke any kind of story, its timeless beauty and mystery hidden in massive gothic buildings makes it ideal setting of the most grotesque and surreal events, always on the border between reality and legend. Oscar, a young college, loves to get lost in the alleys and abandoned villas, surrounded by magical aura, estranged from reality. Navy enters the scene: the life of Oscar is upset. Like the lightning that announces a storm, the mysterious figure of Marina introduces the boy to one of the deepest secrets of Barcelona, but suddenly things get out of hand. A spiral of events at the edge of the nightmare engulfs the two naive guys: a greenhouse in the darkness enveloped filled with strange puppet incomplete, an album which contains photos of the most grotesque physical deformities, a lady dressed entirely in black who visit a unmarked grave, a cemetery not be found wrapped in fog, and a man whose origins seem lost in myth. It is the early history of the world, that of death and life, leading up to the world's oldest questions: What is death anyway? Can man be remedied? Yet it is always in the Navy, with its evanescent and delicate contours, close but distant impression of a moment, a lifetime of memories, which Marina is in the end everything comes back, inevitably. Read this book in low light, at night, when everyone has a different color, when thoughts are beyond the heavy mesh materialistic world and wander aimlessly in that place between sleep and waking, between dream and reality. Zafon gives us a novel as usual with a capital R, with a style snake charmer and a plot made up of people with their most secret desires and nightmares. But as happens with good books, when the end comes, you do not know whether to be sad because it is over, or happy because you found out how it ends.
"We remember only what it has never happened," says Marina, and if we think about it, what are the more nebulous events of our lives, but those who have changed?

Bello Bello Bello. You can take all the quotes you want.
"If people thought a quarter of what speaking, this world would be heaven"
"The weather, the body that stupidity is with the soul. It corrupts. "
" I had always thought that the old railway stations were among the few magical places left in the world. The ghosts of memories and farewells, there mingled with the beginning of hundreds of travel destinations, with no return. If I were to lose one day, I look for in a train station "
