ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón is a gothic mystery set in 1920s Barcelona, where a young writer, Martín, gets an offer to write a book that will change people’s lives. The task proves daunting and perilous.

 

The narrative explores the power of storytelling. It involves murder, mystery, and an obsessive love affair. Martín finds himself entangled in a web of dark secrets connected to a jinxed house, a mysterious publisher named Corelli, and a book called Lux Aeterna. The lines between his fictional creations and reality become blurred. He is warned that "the world is a cesspool".

 

As Martín accepts the offer to write a book, a Faustian bargain is introduced into his life, setting him on a path that blurs the line between creativity and destruction. The themes of decay, the value of art, and the nature of emotional truth are explored as Martín grapples with his literary ambitions and moral dilemmas.
