  • "Barcelona, 1957. It is the week before Christmas in the Sempere & Sons bookshop. Daniel Sempere is happily married to Bea, and they have a son, whilst their partner Fermin is soon to marry Bernarda. Luck, finally, seems to be smiling on them. Then a mysterious person enters the shop, buys the most expensive volume on display - an illustrated edition of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO - and inscribes in it the words 'For Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from among the dead and holds the key to the future. 13'. Who is he? What does he want? The answer lies in a terrible secret, hidden for two decades...a tale of imprisonment, betrayal, murder and love, leading back into the heart of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books."

  • "The internationally acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Carlos Ruiz Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic Barcelona and creates a rich, labyrinthine tale of love, literature, passion, and revenge in which the heroes of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game must contend with a nemesis that threatens to destroy them. Barcelona, 1957. It is Christmas, and Daniel Sempere and his wife, Bea, have much to celebrate. They have a beautiful new baby son named Julian, and their close friend Fermin Romero de Torres is about to be wed. But their joy is eclipsed when a mysterious stranger visits the Sempere bookshop and threatens to divulge a terrible secret that has been buried for two decades in the city's dark past. His appearance plunges Fermin and Daniel into a dangerous adventure that will take them back to the 1940s and the early days of Franco's dictatorship. The terrifying events of that time launch them on a search for the truth that will put into peril everything they love and ultimately transform their lives. Full of intrigue and emotion, The Prisoner of Heaven is a majestic novel in which the threads of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game converge under the spell of literature and bring us toward the enigma hidden at the heart of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a collection of lost treasures known only to its few initiates, and the very core of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's enchanting fictional world."@en

  • "Der Buchhändler Daniel Sempere und sein Freund Fermn werden erneut in ein großes Abenteuer hineingezogen. In der Fortführung seiner Welterfolge nimmt Carlos Ruiz Zafn den Leser mit auf eine fesselnde Reise in sein Barcelona. Unheimlich und spannend, mit unglaublicher Sogkraft und viel Humor schildert der Roman die Geschichte von Fermn, der von den Toten auferstanden ist und den Schlüssel zur Zukunft hat. Fermns Lebensgeschichte verknüpft die Fäden von >Der Schatten des Windes< mit denen aus >Das Spiel des Engels<. Ein meisterliches Vexierspiel, das die Leser rund um die Welt in Bann hält."
  • "Daniel is alone in the shop one morning when a mysterious figure with a pronounced limp enters who inquires about Fermin's whereabouts. When told he is not in, the old man proceeds to buy the most expensive item in the store, a first edition of The Count of Monte Cristo, adds a dedication and leaves it as a present for Fermin. When Daniel reveals the details of this unsettling encounter to his friend, Fermin reads the dedication, turns pale, and at Daniel's insistence, decides to open up about a past that has come back to haunt him, a story that will leave Daniel questioning his very existence."
