Boktjuven är ett mästerverk i ordets sanna bemärkelse. En makalös skildring av vänskap och mod under andra världskriget, berättad av Döden själv.Historien kretsar kring flickan Liesel, boktjuven, och hennes uppväxt i ett sargat Nazityskland. Krigets fasor och vardagens förtretligheter och glädjeämnen skildras utifrån hennes anteckningar.För Liesel väcks kärleken till orden genom hennes första stöld, Dödgrävarens handbok, som hon stjäl under sin lillebrors begravning. Böckerna öppnar nya världar för Liesel och snart börjar hon stjäla fler böcker från nazisternas bokbål, borgmästarens bibliotek, varhelst böcker står att finna. Hon delar böckerna med sina grannar när de sitter i skyddsrummen under bombningarna och med den jude som gömmer sig i familjens källare. Och till sist är det den bok hon själv skriver som bokstavligen räddar livet på henne.Översatt till mer än 40 språk och fortfarande på NY Times lista över mest sålda böcker. Bästsäljaren med klassikerstatus har nu även filmatiserats och går upp på biograferna i februari 2014.Boktjuven har alla förutsättning¬ar att bli en modern klassiker. Köp den, låna den eller stjäl den, men framför allt: läs den!SvD

Only a fool would do it again . . .'This is the story of three troublesome rescue dogs – and how even the most incorrigible of animals can become family. Poignant, funny and disarmingly honest, Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a dog lover’s memoir from one of the world’s most beloved storytellers: bestselling author of The Book Thief, Marcus Zusak.What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs – Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour.Through shortcomings and failure, willpower and an explosion of love, Reuben, Archer and Frosty become family. Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and adventure straight to our doors, and into our lives.‘Funny and charming . . . A stirring tale of the bond that can form between human and hound’ – The Times
