Review
"Emili Rosales is one of the brightest and more promising new voices in recent Catalan literature . . . Invisible City is a seductive cocktail that blends intrigue, art and the secret history of Europe to create a literary yet thrilling journey of self-discovery." —Carlos Ruiz Zafón, author, The Shadow of the Wind
Product Description
A literary thriller about a contemporary gallery owner plunged into a fascinating extinct world
Emili Rossell, the young owner of one of Barcelona's top galleries, receives an old manuscript written by an Italian architect about the "Invisible City"—an ambitious project dreamed up by King Charles III to build an alternative capital city in the Ebro delta. The manuscript contains hints about a lost masterpiece by the Venetian painter Tiepolo, and the site of the Invisible City is where Emili used to play as a child. Juxtaposing the life of the 18th-century royal court and the contemporary art world—both with a similar share of intrigue, politics, and romance—this is a gripping historical mystery and a compelling examination of the forces of power and love.

Bridget's Review, Oct 18 2009
By bridget3420 "Bridget Hopper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Invisible City (Paperback)
King Charles III envisioned building a second capital city and put his dream in writing. An architect ends up possessing this masterpiece and brings it to a gallery for Emili to take a look at. It turns out that the setting for the second capital city is the same place Emili used to play in when he was young. Emili is soon sucked into this unknown world and will be forever changed because of it.
I was instantly hooked because this is a fabulous book! Emili is an extremely talented story-teller.
Listmania!
