«Storia di una ladra di libri» is the historical novel by Markus Zusak, published by Sperling & Kupfer in paperback (565 pages, in Italian).
In Nazi Germany in 1939, Liesel Meminger, a nine-year-old girl taken in on Himmel Street, steals books to cling to life: she saves them from bonfires and from the mayor's wife's library. Narrated by Death, the novel shows how words become her refuge while her family hides a Jew in the basement and the war approaches their town.
Novel originally published in 2005 as «The Book Thief»; this Italian edition, in the Pickwick collection, is translated by Gian Maria Giughese and includes illustrations by Trudy White.
For readers of historical fiction and young adult fiction, with a special interest in World War II and the power of words.
