The Book Thief

Érase una vez un mundo donde las noches eran largas y la Muerte contaba su propia historia. Érase una vez una ladrona que robaba libros y regalaba palabras. En el pueblo vivía una niña que quería leer, un hombre que tocaba el acordeón y un joven judío que escribía cuentos hermosos para escapar del horror de la guerra. Al cabo de un tiempo, la niña se convirtió en una ladrona que robaba libros y regalaba palabras. Y con esas palabras se escribió una historia hermosa y cruel. Una novela tremendamente humana, emocionante e inolvidable, que describe las peripecias de una niña alemana de nueve años desde que es dada en adopción por su madre hasta el final de la II Guerra Mundial. Su nueva familia, gente sencilla y nada afecta al nazismo, le enseña a leer y, a través de los libros, a distraerse durante los bombardeos y combatir la tristeza. Pero es el libro que ella misma está escribiendo el que finalmente le salvará la vida.

¿Conoces de verdad a la gente que más te quiere? ¿Sabes con qué sueñan tus mejores amigos? ¿Te atreves a descubrir algo asombroso de ti mismo? Ed Kennedy es un joven taxista en un barrio pobre de una gran ciudad. Vive en un pequeño apartamento con su perro adicto al café y está completamente enamorado de su mejor amiga. Su tranquila vida, marcada tanto por la rutina como la incompetencia, cambia de repente cuando involuntariamente impide el robo de un banco. A partir de entonces, Ed empieza a recibir unos naipes que contienen mensajes cifrados. Guiándose por su instinto y su inteligencia, descubrirá que le conducen a devolver la felicidad y el bienestar a quienes, por una razón u otra, lo han perdido. Día tras día, noche tras noche, Ed irá descubriendo que el afecto, la amistad y el amor no son palabras huecas sino verbos vivos: si quieres saber, pregunta; si pretendes ayudar, actúa; si quieres cambiar, no esperes. A menudo son los pequeños gestos los que mueven el mundo—gestos que incluso un chico cualquiera puede lograr.
