"A human doesn't have a heart like mine. The human heart is a line, whereas my own is a circle, and I have the endless ability to be in the right place at the right time. The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both. Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die." -Death, page 491

A series of symbolic photos depicting the prologue of "The Book Thief," narrated by death. Note: the reason "thief" is spelled wrong is because the main character Liesal was just learning to read and it is likely that she would have spelled that word wrong. All rights to the author, Marcus Zusak.

He tells her to write her own story, so she does.  Liesel develops a strange friendship with the mayors wife, Ilsa Hermann. She often stole books from her because she had such a large fascination with books. Hans tries to help a prisoner but is punished by the Nazi soldier. Hans is he conscripted as punishment for this. They send Max away in fear that the soldiers will search their house because of Hans actions. Rudy is wanted by the soldiers to be taken to a special training school, but his family makes an exchange for him to stay home and his father to be conscripted. Hans comes home after breaking his leg in a bus accident. Liesel sees Max marching through and learns that he has been captured. She begins to walk with him and the Nazi guard beats both her and him. She tries to continue walking but Rudy stops her to save her. While Liesel is writing in her book, the street is bombed and everyone dies. She has no one left, so she lives with Ilsa Hermann for a while. Liesel ends up married with kids and Max survived the concentration camp.
