«La Ciudad de Vapor» is the short story collection by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, published by Editorial Planeta in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
A posthumous work gathering all the author's short stories from Barcelona, some previously unpublished, conceived as a tribute to readers of the saga that began with «La Sombra del Viento». These stories feature a young man who discovers writing to win over a girl, an architect fleeing Constantinople with the plans for an impregnable library, a tempting proposal to Cervantes, and a Gaudí fascinated by the light and steam of New York.
The volume belongs to the Autores Españoles e Iberoamericanos collection and is part of the universe of El Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados, whose stories it gathers.
Recommended for readers of Carlos Ruiz Zafón and contemporary Spanish fiction who want to complete the universe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.
