Prince of the fog

Carlos Zafón's books achieved worldwide fame and attracted the interest of readers in dozens of languages, and Muawiya Abdul Majid's amazing translations played a significant role in the Arab reader's interest in him as a writer, especially after translating Carlos Zafón's novel "The Shadow of the Wind," the first part of the "Cemetery of Forgotten Books" tetralogy. Zafón's works were published in Arabic by Jamal Publications as part of a distinguished series of translated novels. The novel "Prince of Fog" is his first youth novel translated for him and the first novel he wrote at the beginning of his literary career. About the novel "Prince of Fog" When I was young, I did not insist on reading novels classified as "youth." My idea of teenage novels matched my idea of novels for readers of any age; I believe that stories do not care about age groups. I have always had the impression that young readers may be more cunning and insightful than older readers, and if they excel in anything, it is their little appreciation and even less bias. Either the writer wins them over, or they do not hesitate to exclude him. They are a difficult and demanding audience, but I like their judgments, and I think they are fair... "Prince of Fog" is the first book in a series of youth novels, along with "Midnight Palace" and "September Lights," and the standalone novel "Marina," which I wrote years before the publication of "The Shadow of the Wind." Some mature readers may be influenced by the popularity of the latter novel, and they may rush to explore these stories of mystery and adventure. I hope new readers will enjoy them and begin their journey and adventure. Author: Carlos Zafón.
