After sitting at #2 for several weeks, The Book Thief is now number one on the fiction bestseller list in Brazil.
One day, there was a terrible noise coming from the main street of town, and when she ran to see it, she saw........
One day, there was great kindness and great cruelty, and I saw it as the perfect story of how humans are.........
One day, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery....
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist-books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about feeding the soul.
Durning reading this book, I cried, with laughter and with sorrow.
"Even death has a heart." Markus Zusak said. The story is told by Death and love.
And you cannot miss the heart.
