In Germany in 1939, a 9-year-old girl Liesel and her brother were forced to be sent to a foster family in the outer suburbs of Munich. Unfortunately, my 6-year-old brother died on the road. After the deserted funeral, Liesel accidentally picked up her first book, "The Gravedigger's Manual." She was a lonely child. Her father was taken away by the Nazis, and her mother subsequently disappeared. With the help of her adoptive father, she learned to read. But she discovered something more irresistible than food - books. She couldn't help but start stealing books. Liesel, this girl who was called the "Book Thief" by Death, lived hard in war-torn Germany, and incredibly helped the people around her who were also suffering.
Overseas student Zheng (that is, me) occasionally read "The Book Thief" translated by Nanhai Publishing Company. Having read the English version twice and deeply admiring Markus Zusak's writing style, he felt that this translation failed to convey the charm and profound meaning of the original book. So I decided to start the translation myself. HOPE YOU ENJOY.
