In this story a little boy named Daniel finds a book that has been writing by unknowed author named Julian Carax. The Daniel brings to a book store to see how much it's worth. The Book story owner in amazed by the book and explains to Daniel that there is only one of these books left because all his others where burned in the revolution. As the book store own takes the book to another room he introduces Daniel to Clara a blind women who knows alot about Julian Carax. She explains to Daniel the sad story of Julian Carax. How when he first put out his work all the critcs hated it and told him to remain a piano player at a bar because he was not going to make his money in litature. After only selling 75 books Julian Carax has a mysteris death in which he is barried in an unmarked grave. Monsieur Roquefort finds one of Carax books and falls in love with it. He goes on an ongoing search for Carax's book to never find them.
I thought this story was about mortality. Carax seemed like a forgetable character at first. He writes a book that no wants to read, he works at a bar where no one appreicates him, and he dies before a marriage in a duel in. Then he is barried in an unmarked grave. Carax probably thought that no one would remember him, little did he know that some one would stumbal across his book and fall in love with it. He will be remembered by his writing and it is exstra special because of how rare it is.
