January 1939. Germany. A country holding its breath. Death has never had so much work to do. And there will be more. Her mother is taking nine-year-old Liesel Meminger and her younger brother to her foster parents near Munich, because their father is gone - he was carried away by the breath of the alien and strange word "Communist," and in her mother's eyes the girl sees the fear of the same fate. On the road, death visits the boy and notices Liesel for the first time. This is how the girl finds herself on Himmel Strasse - Heavenly Street. Whoever came up with this name had a healthy sense of humor. It's not that it's a hellhole. No. But it wasn't heaven. "The Book Thief" is a short story about, among other things: one girl; various words; an accordionist; various bigoted Germans; a Jewish brawler; and a lot of theft. This is a book about the power of words and the ability of books to nourish the soul. Screened in 2013.
