Der 1939, Nazideutschland. Der Tod hat viel zu tun und eine Schwäche für Liesel Meminger
Am Grab ihres kleinen Bruders stiehlt Liesel ihr erstes Buch. Mit dem »Handbuch für Totengräber« lernt sie lesen und stiehlt fortan Bücher, überall, wo sie zu finden sind: aus dem Schnee, den Flammen der Nazis und der Bibliothek des Bürgermeisters. Eine tiefe Liebe zu Büchern und Worten ist geweckt, die sie auch nicht verlässt, als die Welt um sie herum in Schutt und Asche versinkt. Liesel sieht die Juden nach Dachau ziehen, sie erlebt die Bombennächte über München – und sie überlebt, weil der Tod sie in sein Herz geschlossen hat.

Eine Geschichte, die man nicht liest, sondern durchlebt!

Work Description

The extraordinary, beloved novel about the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times.

When Death has a story to tell, you listen.

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who 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.

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

“The kind of book that can be life-changing.” —The New York Times

Excerpts

in which our narrator introduces: himself – the colours – and the book thief.
