In Chunk three, Clara reveals her true feelings to Sempere, by committing adultery with her music instructor in front of Sempere. Outraged, the instructor maliciously beats the heart broken boy, and Sempere limps out into the rainy street. There, he runs into a mysterious man who offers him a thousand dollars, to burn the novel. After declining his offer he runs to his copy of Shadow of the Wind and buries it in the Cemetary of Forgotten books, and later learns that the fiendish character he met in the streets is Lain Coubert. After consulting with Isaac, the overseer of the cemetery, Sempere discovers more information on Carax and now journeys to find Nuria, whom saved the last copies of Carax's books from the merciless hands of Coubert.
Finally, Sempere returns home and patches up the bond he had with his father, when he opens his gift, a pen, which he constantly begged for.
Why does Coubert burn Carax's literary works?what do you think happened to his face?

Perhaps Coubert is a pyromaniac and burned himself while playing with fire. As to why he is burning the books, I have a hunch that either he is Carax and wants his name to be eliminated from the world or he is someone on a rampage to eliminate Carax based on some hate. The fact that he knows what Carax wrote leads me to believe that he may be Carax himself.
i think Coubert is burning Carax's book for some type of revenge or something in that nature. and i think the burns on his face might have to do something with the Civil War that took place before the story began.
Raj- Keep up the good work! I have been visiting blogs and many students have not been making their posts! They will feel the wrath of Ms. Guy!
