The Book Thief
6.99 €
January 1939. Germany. A country holding its breath. Death has never had so much work to do. And there will be more. Their mother takes nine-year-old Liesel Meminger and her younger brother to foster parents near Munich because their father is no longer alive—he was carried away by the breath of the strange, alien word "communist," and in her mother's eyes, the girl sees fear of a similar fate. On the way, death visits the boy and notices Liesel for the first time. Thus, the girl finds herself on Himmelstrasse—Heaven's Street. Whoever came up with the name had a healthy sense of humor. Not that it's a living hell. No. But it's certainly not heaven, either.

"The Book Thief" is a short story that, among other things, tells the story of: one girl; various words; an accordionist; various fanatical Germans; a Jewish brawler; and a multitude of thefts. This is a book about the power of words and the ability of books to feed the soul.
