The Shadow

of the Wind

Part 1

‘Come, Daniel, get dressed. I want to show you something,’ said my father.

‘Now? At five o’clock in the morning?’

‘Some things can only be seen in the shadows,’ he said, with a mysterious smile.

We stepped out of the front door into the misty streets. The lamps along the Ramblas marked out an avenue in the early morning haze as the city awoke, like a watercolour slowly coming to life.

I followed my father through the narrow streets until at last he stopped in front of a large door of carved wood. Before us rose what to my eyes seemed like an ancient palace, a place of echoes and shadows.

‘Daniel, you mustn’t tell anyone about this. Not even your friend Tomás. No one.’

A smallish man with thick grey hair opened the door.

‘Good morning, Isaac. This is my son, Daniel,’ my father announced. ‘He will be eleven soon, and one day the shop will be his. It’s time he knew this place.’

The man called Isaac nodded and invited us in. We followed him through a palatial corridor and arrived at an enormous round hall, the shadows pierced by light from a high glass dome above us. A labyrinth of passageways and bookshelves rose like a beehive, with platforms, steps and bridges that suggested an immense library of impossible geometry. I looked at my father, stunned. He smiled at me and winked.

‘Welcome to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, Daniel.’

Решение 2.

1 Где, по вашему мнению, находится это место? Что это такое?

Ответ:

This place is likely in Barcelona, as the text mentions "Ramblas". It is an enormous library called "the Cemetery of Forgotten Books".

Это место, вероятно, находится в Барселоне, так как в тексте упоминаются "Рамблас". Это огромная библиотека под названием "Кладбище забытых книг".

2 Кто этот мальчик? Что он делает?

Ответ:

The boy is Daniel. He is being introduced to "the Cemetery of Forgotten Books" by his father, who says it's time he knew this place.

Мальчика зовут Дэниел. Его отец знакомит его с "Кладбищем забытых книг", говоря, что пришло время ему узнать это место.

3 Как он себя чувствует? Почему он там?

Ответ:

He feels stunned. He is there because his father wants to show him a special place, which he implies will belong to Daniel one day, as it's time he knew it.

Он чувствует себя ошеломленным. Он там, потому что его отец хочет показать ему особенное место, которое, как он намекает, однажды будет принадлежать Дэниелу, поскольку пришло время ему узнать о нем.
