Shadow of the Wind #5

In the section that i have read, Julian bumps into a man whom he has sen before, a man that he has seen, but never has talked to. This man has "no face", meaning that his face has been burnt. When they finally got to meet one another the guy began to interrogate him about the author Julian Carax. Daniel gets really worried as the man with no face begins to tell him all about his life and about his friend such as Clara. When Daniel hears Clara's name he reminisces about the time that Clara mentioned about a man whom she ran into the street and began to interrogate her. When she tried to touch his face to know what he really looked like, the man ran away, that seemed really awkward to her as people would let her because of her blindness. When Daniel came back from thinking about it he began to ask why the man wanted to book so bad, and was offering about twice the price than the older man offered. Rumors had gone about the city talking about how a man would go around finding anything that belonged to Carax, read it, and burn it. The man to whom Julian bumped into told him that he was the one that would burn Carax books, after that encounter, Daniel grabbed the book and headed back onto the cemetery of books and hid it there. Even though the man has found every possible way to get a hold of Carax books, will he be able to find it in the cemetery of books?
