It’s just a small story really, about among other things: 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 the ability of books to feed the soul.
From the Hardcover edition.

不是因为身处黑暗,这些人性的温暖才如此灿烂;不是因为死神感性的理智,我们才感到有东西堵在胸口发闷。 在生存与死亡选择下抛弃自由的无奈,在高压下极力维护的早已扭曲了的“正常”,无论怎样的境遇也泯灭不了的人性……看这样的一本书,感动比震撼多一些,平凡...

评分看完偷书贼的时候,天色已经很晚了,我躺在被和睦亚运气氛笼罩的广州城的床上,不用想也知道,外面一定是霓虹闪烁,火树银花..这样的生活,很轻松,也很无力.我们不用为明天的太阳乞求,我们也更不能为这个世界的遭遇而热血沸腾.这对于我们来说或许是场灾难. 不得不承认,<偷书贼...
评分在下笔之初,我不确定自己该写些什么,但我知道我必须写下点什么,因为我读过,因为我被感动,因为我知道它是好的。 这是一本关于战争的书,这也是一本关于书籍的书,这还是一本关于成长的书。序幕中有这样的介绍: 一个小女孩 几页文字 一个拉手风琴...
评分读完《偷书贼》想到了不久前来北京的以色列作家阿摩司·奥兹。他在访谈中对我说,小时候,他的家乡饱受战争的磨难,他经常自己一个人躲在图书馆里,想变成一本书,安静地放在书架上,那样他就安全了。虽然童年饱受战争的磨难,但他庆幸自己没有因此而变得抱怨、仇恨和恶毒,多...
