Markus Zusak is the author of five books, including the international bestseller, The Book Thief , which spent more than a decade on the New York Times bestseller list, and is translated into more than forty languages – establishing Zusak as one of the most successful authors to come out of Australia.
To date, Zusak has held the number one position at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, the New York Times bestseller list, as well as in countries across South America, Europe and Asia.
His books, The Underdog, Fighting Ruben Wolfe, When Dogs Cry (also titled Getting the Girl ), The Messenger (or I am the Messenger ) and The Book Thief have been awarded numerous honours ranging from literary prizes to readers choice awards to prizes voted on by booksellers.
Zusak’s much-anticipated new novel, Bridge of Clay , is set for release in October 2018 in the USA, the UK and Australia, with foreign translations to follow.
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.

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...
少有的好书 各种戳中泪点
评分总觉得很罗嗦
评分期待过高有点失望。不过人家已经都说了for young readers. so what can I complain about?
评分少有的好书 各种戳中泪点
评分这可能是我读过的最具有影像感的书。真不能想象至今是不是还没有人把它拍成电影。Narrator很特别,讲述战争几乎没有更好的角度。叙事方式很巧妙,每每透露一点后面的剧情又不全部告诉你。总之是精彩的故事。不过,这个真的是NYTimes童书第一名吗?小孩看会不会有点太阴暗。
