Daniel Sempere

Hello there stranger, I suppose you would like to learn a bit more about me. Well for starters my name is Daniel Sempere. My mother died during the civil war due to a sickness called cholera, maybe it was because I was still young but for some reason I just didn't want to believe that she was really gone. What I remember the most about my childhood was back in the summer of 1945 when I was ten years old, my father decided to take me to a place called "The cemetery of Forgotten Books", he told me to keep it a secret that I was even going. I'll always remember what he said to me that time, he said "This is a place of Mystery, Daniel, a sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it." I chose the book called "The Shadow of The Wind" by Julian Carax. I was fascinated by this story, therefore making it my sole mission to discover more works by this author. On my journey, I discovered more than you could even imagine.. even experiencing my first true love, Clara Barcelo.
