And Carax is missing.įrom that point on, Daniel embarks on a journey to discover Carax’s history and the reason for his missing novels. The only problem is that all of Carax’s novels have been pulled off of the shelves by some unknown person and burned. So much so that he longs to find every other book that the author, Julián Carax has written. He chooses a book, reads it, and finds that it touches him deeply. He tells him to choose a book, one book that he will treasure for the remainder of his life. To console him, his father takes him to an enormous hidden labyrinth, The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, where books that no one remembers or loves any longer are housed. The story, set in Barcelona in 1945, concerns Daniel, a young man who’s struggling with the loss of his mother and his fear that he can no longer remember her face.
