Although not very prolific in comparison with most authors of his level, having published only eight books before his death, Zafón went down in history as the most widely published contemporary Spanish writer, with fans hailing from 45 countries and speaking 40 languages. A bona fide reader and writer, who was just 14 years old when he first tried to publish a 500-page novel that disturbed editors, Zafón built some fame in TheNineties with his young adult work ''Trilogy of Mist'' before making the jump to fame with the 2001 novel ''Literature/TheShadowOfTheWind'', after which he prologued the story in a loosely-connected tetralogy named ''The Cemetery of Forgotten Books'', which remains as his last and main work.
