In relation to the opening line of the novel ("It was a pleasure to burn"), the next three paragraphs serve to clarify to the reader what was being burnt by the character "While the books went up in sparkling whirls ... " and describe in depth his pleasure while burning books, as the author mentions: "the blood pounded in his head and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor ... " or when saying: " ... He would feel the fiery smile still gripped by his ace muscles in the dark".
