The Shadow of the Wind	comment	The Shadow of the Wind is a 2001 best-selling mystery novel by Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafón.Set in Barcelona after the Spanish Civil War, the story follows Daniel Sempere, the scion of a dynasty of book sellers, who, as a young boy, discovers a long-forgotten novel entitled The Shadow of the Wind by Julián Carax in a secret library called The Cemetery of Forgotten Books. As a teenager, Daniel tries to seek out other books by the author, but can find nothing and no information on Carax himself. He then learns that most of Carax's books have been obtained and destroyed by a disfigured man calling himself Lain Coubert, the name of the devil in Carax's book. Daniel's investigation into Coubert's identity inadvertently puts him on the radar of Inspector Fumero, a psychopathic member of dictator Francisco Franco's secret police, who has his own vested interest in tracking down both Coubert and the last of Carax's books. In his quest, Daniel will be aided by his best friend's intense younger sister; a hedonistic bookseller; the bookseller's vivacious, blind niece; and a homeless former spy who becomes his best friend.The novel retroactively became the first installment of the loose tetralogy known as The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, being followed by The Angel's Game in 2008.

In real life, this would render him blind, since eyelids facilitate the eyes retaining moisture and protecting them from constant light exposure. People who suffer third-degree burns to the extent described in the book require skin grafts to prevent blindness.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Fermín Romero de Torres reveals this name is an alias, but we never definitively find out his real name. A newspaper claims his name is Antonio José Gutiérrez Alcayete, and given the spaper gets its information from Fumero, it could actually be the real name - in fact, the article bills Alcayete from the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, the place Fermín himself mentions later as his native land. However, Fermin never confirms it's his real name and instead simply asks the Semperes to continue regarding him as Fermin. It's also implied that at least some of Fermín's most outrageous claims are true, as Fumero reveals Fermín really lived in Cuba and was in contact with the era's upper class just as he claims. Again, however, not much is clarified. That he is a former spy, at the very least, turns out to be very true.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_2a6bf668	comment	Inadequate Inheritor: A common theme on the book. Don Ricardo thought his son Jorge didn't had the character to succeed him, which drove him to search for his illegitimate son, Julián. Mr. Aguilar actually instructed Tomás' tutors to act as if he were stupid. This is just one of the many layers of friction between Don Antoni and his son Julián. When the Aldayas' fortune began to go down, some people believed that Don Ricardo was just an idiot that wasted what his father founded. Nuria's former boss, Cabestany, said that his son would bankrupt his publisher house in six months after his death. She said he was really optimistic, it took two months.

He first begins committing murder recreationally in his youth before realizing he can monetize his own psychosis, and spends the Civil War switching alliances based on who'll pay him the most to kill people, finally ensuring he's on the winning side of the conflict.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: If the info about Fermín given in the newspapers is true, (which he himself seems to acknowledge), he's 51 during the events of the book. As The Angel's Game establishes Daniel was born when his father was in his early thirties, this means Fermín is around the same age as Mr. Sempere, who is described as and behaves like a significantly older man, most likely as the result of his wife's premature death and having to raise Daniel as a single father.

The casual mistreatment of women, which was common during the fifties in Spain, when Franco's regime encouraged a culture of macho dominance. Even heroic characters like Fermin casually grope women and make sexist remarks that no one comments on because it was simply expected behavior for the era. One older (and even more dissonant) woman talking about Julian's father casually mentions that sometimes men need to beat their wives to keep them in line. Similarly, because the era had laxer standards regarding alcohol consumption, characters drink massive amounts of booze to the point many of them (most notably Fermin) are functioning alcoholics. Almost every adult character smokes non-stop throughout the story.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_dcbe8a6e	comment	Chekhov's Gunman: Fermín makes an early blink-and-you-miss-him appearance as a random homeless man asking Daniel to let him into an apartment foyer to get out of the rain. When he pops back up much later to aid Daniel after he's beaten up by Clara's boyfriend, it's easy to forget he's the same character. In one chapter Daniel recounts how he met his friend Tomás when Daniel insulted his sister Beatriz and Tomás punched him. She ends having a larger role on the story than her brother, ending as Daniel's romantic interest and eventual wife. While Daniel and Fermín where investigating, they stopped in a restaurant where a man was impressed by how much Fermín could eat, and was then seen on their way back in the train laughing at Fermín discussing with some nuns. He turned out to be one of Fumero's henchmen, Palacios, that was following them. Fumero, in a unique retroactive case. Although he introduces himself as Francisco Javier Fumero, from that point forward, he's only ever called "Fumero," while in the flashbacks to Carax's school days- which come significantly later in the book- he's only called "Javier" up to The Reveal. More mindful readers may make the link, although the book goes out of its way to make the reader believe they're separate characters.

There's seemingly no reason for him to change in-universe his second surname yet not his first (after all, his father was almost as much of an asshole as his mother), and it is never mentioned. The letter that Daniel finds early in the novel, the one that Penélope wrote sincerely to Julián, describes events in a way that becomes incompatible with the later recollection of them. For instance, Penélope claims she repeatedly asked Miquel for Julián's whereabouts after the latter escaped, despite being later explicitly shown that she died uncommunicated after his fugue and could not talk to or meet Miquel before her death.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_eb251937	comment	Dirty Cop: Essentially every police officer in the book save Palacious is corrupt and willing to resort to beating and torture to get results. Even in the cut-throat world of Franco's secret police, though, Inspector Fumero is considered a maniac by his colleagues.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_f3d5d15f	comment	Creepy Child: A few. Inspector Fumero, a borderline mute boy who who used to spend hours alone carving creepy wooden figures and capturing cats and pigeons and torturing them for hours. Julián is a more mild example in that made up disturbing stories as a child and was generally withdrawn and isolative, but his behavior generally only upset his parents. Everyone else just sees him as kind of a weird kid.

The Shadow of the Wind / int_fed93e1b	type	Dark and Troubled Past
The Shadow of the Wind / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Several characters. Fermín was a Republican spy who was arrested trying to smuggle his superiors in the Generalitat out of the country, after which he was tortured by Fumero, forced to give up the other spies in his network, and abandoned in the city. After being rescued and healed by a widow, he tried to return to Cuba, but was arrested again and spent years entering and exiting the Modelo jail as a homeless man until encountering Daniel. Fumero was sexually abused by his schizophrenic, social-climber mother and neglected by his passive, retiring father, resulting in his mentally unbalanced state. After he shot his mother in revenge for her abuse, his father covered up for it by claiming it was a hunting accident, setting him down the road for a career of judicially-sanctioned murder. Julián Carax was conceived when his mother had an affair with Mr. Aldaya because Carax Sr. refused to have sex with her. Carax Sr. then spent the next several years violently abusing both Julián and his mother, leading to Julian's generally mordant worldview. Julián briefly got a reprieve when Mr. Aldaya decided to make Julián his heir, only for Julián to unknowingly have an affair with his own biological sister.
