Located in a small suburb of Germany during the Second World War, this novel is narrated by La Muerte, who tells us the story of Liesel, a little orphan who has a strange fascination with the written word and begins to steal books during one of the most turbulent times in history.

Today I bring you a very interesting book, one of my favorites that I read already in my youth, a little teenager. I read it again for the purpose of this summary. It is a little sad book. Obviously all books based during the Holocaust and the Second World War in Germany do not usually have such a happy ending. But I thought it was a very interesting book because almost all of these books, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Catastrophe of Hitler, all of these books of historical fiction, they usually talk about kindness, cruelty, death, etc. But this is a book that talks about the power of words, how Hitler...
It doesn't focus so much on Hitler, but it shows through the history of the people who lived at that time how the power of words is so impactful on the human being. And I think that's why the author decides that the book is not narrated by the characters, it is not narrated by a human being, it is narrated by the angel of death, this being that does not exist, an abstract, impartial person. that begins to criticize the human race while all this horrible is happening, and at the same time to value the good things that the human has during these moments. The novel was very popular, it was one of the best-selling books for a long time from the New York Times. There is a movie, for those who want to look for it, very beautiful, it is not...
exactly like the book, as it usually happens. The book is quite dark, it shows a lot of people's poverty, old clothes, etc. etc. And suddenly in the movie, Lise, who is the main character, is always dressed in red, with pretty clothes, and that doesn't fit much with the time. But the book really tells a very similar story. It's a bit based on the author's family, who went to Sydney, Australia, after the Holocaust, they were Jews. but the author claims that he was simply inspired by them, but it is not a story that happened to his family necessarily. So let's start with the summary of this great book with the first part that introduces us to the Angel of Death. And to clarify, the Angel of Death is exactly what the Angel of Death sounds like, that mythical figure with the black robe, the body made of bones, with the knife, with the whip, the dagger, that entity is the one that is narrating to us.
The story and its work during the novel is to look for the souls of the people in their last breath.
