《偷書賊》

Author： Markus ZusakPublisher： Alfred A. Knopf

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.

1939年，納粹德國生靈涂炭。死亡從未如此頻繁地出現。麗絲生活在慕尼黑城外，在亂世中艱難求生，而她能生存下來靠的是偷竊一樣她無法抗拒的東西——書本。在她養父的配合下，她學會了閱讀，并在轟炸來襲時將偷來的書與鄰居和躲在地下室的猶太人分享。

祖薩克莊重、華美的寫作方式使其屢獲大獎。在《偷書賊》中，他又為我們講述了一個不朽的故事。
