Summary: It is 1939 Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. By her brother's graveside, Liesel Meminger's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Grave Digger's Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times. When Liesel's foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel's world is both opened up and closed down. In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

එය 1939 නාසි ජර්මනියයි. රට හුස්ම ගන්නවා.
මරණය කිසි විටෙකත් කාර්යබහුල නොවූ අතර තවමත් කාර්යබහුල වනු ඇත.

ඇගේ සහෝදරයාගේ සොහොන් බිමෙන්, හිම වල අර්ධ වශයෙන් සැඟවී ඇති තනි වස්තුවක් ඔසවන විට ලයිසල් මෙමින්ගර්ගේ ජීවිතය වෙනස් වේ. එය අහම්බෙන් එහි ඉතිරිව ඇති The Grave Digger's Handbook වන අතර එය ඇගේ පොත් සොරකම් කිරීමේ පළමු ක්‍රියාවයි. ඒ නිසා පොත් සහ වචන සමඟ ප්‍රේම සම්බන්ධයක් ආරම්භ වන අතර, ලයිසල් ඇගේ ඇකෝනියන් වාදනය කරන හදා වඩා ගත් පියාගේ උපකාරයෙන් කියවීමට ඉගෙන ගනී. නගරාධිපතිගේ බිරිඳගේ පුස්තකාලය වන නාසි පොත් පුළුස්සා දැමීමෙන් ඇය පොත් සොරකම් කරයි.

නමුත් මේවා භයානක කාලයකි. ලයිසෙල්ගේ කැපකරු පවුල යුදෙව්වෙකු ඔවුන්ගේ පහළම මාලය තුළ සඟවන විට, ලයිසල්ගේ ලෝකය විවෘත වී වසා ඇත.

තීව්‍රතාවයෙන් දැවෙන අතිවිශිෂ්ට ලෙස රචනා කරන ලද සම්මානලාභී කතුවරයා වන මාකස් සුසාක් අපගේ කාලයේ වඩාත්ම කල් පවත්නා කතාවක් අපට ලබා දී ඇත.
