Maze of the spirits

The last part of the quadrilogy of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books after three parts occupied the readers and transported them to the neighborhoods of Barcelona during the war and afterwards in an atmosphere of secrecy and among many dangerous books. The maze of souls was published by Carlos Zafón, translated by Muawiya Abdul Majid, by Al-Jamal Publications as part of distinguished translated novels that include the rest of the series. A brief about the novel The Maze of Souls Carlos Zafón brings us to his final station of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books saga. The Maze of Souls is the fourth installment after The Prisoner of Heaven, The Angel’s Game, and The Shadow of the Wind. An intense novel, no less than its predecessors in terms of enthusiasm, excitement, and suspense. It takes us once again to those narrow alleys shrouded in ominous mystery and a complex enigma. Between the radiant Barcelona and its cursed opposite, turning the city into circles of hell devouring each other, we encounter new faces that join the previous characters and interact with them. Instead of guiding us to a final conclusion of the quadrilogy, the pages open to different scenarios, expanding to include other places, and delving into discussions of eras that paved the way for war and tragedy, and the years of tyranny, oppression, and injustice that followed. Quotes from the book The Maze of Souls The level of barbarism in a society is measured by the distance this society seeks to impose between women and books. I admit that I did not succeed in being the daughter my parents wished for, nor the girl this world I was born into expects. Or rather, I must say I did not want to, for I have always done the opposite of what everyone says—my parents and my teachers—while they become increasingly fed up with my words and arguments.
