“Sara was an avid reader who devoured all types of books, from historical novels to science fiction. One day, while she was walking in the park, she came across a book abandoned on a bench. It was “Marina” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, one of her favorite authors. On the cover there was a label that said: “Free books.”
“Sara wondered who had left the book on that bench, but she didn’t give it any more importance and took it home. He read it with fascination and fell in love with the story, set in Barcelona in 1980, of «Óscar Drai, a dreamer who allows himself to be seduced by the modernist mansions near the boarding school where he studies and who meets Marina on one of his getaways. , a girl in poor health who shares with Óscar the adventure of discovering a painful enigma from the city’s past. A mysterious post-war character set himself the greatest challenge imaginable, but his ambition dragged him down dark paths whose consequences someone must still pay today… »”
“After finishing reading Ruiz Zafón’s work, Sara did not want to part with the book and returned to the park, in search of another title and to continue immersing herself in those stories that only a book can tell.”
Sara is an invented character, but the book – and many others – and the park do exist. “Marina” by Ruiz Zafón was one of the “free books” that could be found on one of the stone benches in the park of the Railway Station Cultural Center. Some books that are donated at the center’s reception and that do not always have a place on their shelves and, since throwing away a book could be considered “a crime against culture”, the center’s workers, from time to time, leave them in the banks so that those pages, full of stories, find whoever wants to read them again. You just have to take a walk to the Railway Station Cultural Center and try your luck, you might find the book you were looking for, and for free.
