My favourite quotes from The Shadow of the Wind by Zafón (sp+eng)

🤎 Hi there!

Books and languages are my two favourite things in this world. That’s why I’m so passionate about literary translation. I recently re-read The Shadow of the Wind and I fell in love with Zafón’s writing once again. I really like to see original vs translation myself, so I thought it’d be fun for you to see how the English translation compares to the original in Spanish. This is a bit different from my other videos but I’m looking forward to making more content about literature and translation in the future.
