Markus Zusak is an Australian writer .He  is best known for his work "The Book Thief " and "The Messenger" two novels  which became international best sellers.He won the Margaret A Edward Award in 2014.

Markus Zusak' s novel" The Book Thief" opens exceptionally with an interesting narrator who turns out to be death.It tells the touching story of a little girl named Liesel Meminger who suffers from the death of her brother and seperation from her mother and is taken to her new foster parents .The book is titled as book thief because in the beginning of her journey she steals a book named ,"The Grave Diggers Handbook" even though  she does not know how to read.And from her foster parents she learns how to read .The background of the story is taking place in Germany in the time of world war 2.And how among all this war and chaos she  finds the time to read ,expressing her love for books and words .And how she finds her inner  PEACE by reading books.
In the book death is not depicted as a scary thing.
Death is not exploited for the readers to sympathise, however turns out to be the kindest and realistic character in the text .To me Death overshadows the inevitable fact of dying and yet focuses  on the aspect of living.Death grieves and sympathises for the souls of those whom he had to collect and how he is doomed to do this task for eternity .After understanding his character,I was able to appreciate more of death .

I admired most of all Zusak' s characters,but especially 'Hans  Humberman' as  he directly challenged me to do what's right .He is a fatherly figure I appreciated in the story.and despite the challenges of fighting for his own identity and belongingness  he encourages the readers to have courage and face the challenges in life .Han represents a figure of bravery,wisdom and humbleness which are qualities that every individual should try to embrace.
In today's society even though people know things are wrong many choose to accept how things are .so mark tells his readers to fight for what we think is right ,and look for your place in the world and where you stand in the society.The book thief clarifies with readers to stick to our inner guidence and fight for what's right.
It's not a happy ever after book for those who want to feel good after reading .The story will takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions and give you a closer look of the life of the common people during the war times and If your ready to embrace those emotions it's a good suggestion from my part .

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari is a captivating exploration of the history of our species. Harari skillfully weaves together anthropology, history, and biology to provide a thought-provoking narrative of how Homo sapiens evolved, conquered the world, and shaped civilization.

The book's strength lies in its ability to take complex ideas and present them in a comprehensible and engaging manner. Harari's perspective on the role of myths, the agricultural revolution, and the impact of technology on society offers readers a fresh and often challenging viewpoint on our past and future.

However, some critics argue that the book oversimplifies certain historical events and relies heavily on conjecture in some areas. Despite this, "Sapiens" remains a must-read for anyone interested in the human story. It encourages readers to contemplate the profound impact our species has had on the world and to consider the potential paths we may take in the future.
Here are some interesting quotes from this book ::

1. "The real difference between us and chimpanzees is the mythical glue that binds together large numbers of individuals, families, and groups. This glue has made us the masters of creation."

2. "Money is the most universal and most efficient system of mutual trust ever devised."

3. "The Agricultural Revolution was history’s biggest fraud."

4. "We did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us."

5. "The pursuit of an easier life resulted in much hardship, and not for the last time."

6. "Large numbers of strangers can cooperate successfully by believing in common myths."

7. "The appearance of cities and kingdoms created a new kind of human: the full-time worker."

8. "People are willing to die for the truth. They are willing to slaughter for the truth."

9. "We study history not to know the future but to widen our horizons, to understand that our present situation is neither natural nor inevitable, and that we consequently have many more possibilities before us than we imagine."

These quotes capture some of the key themes and insights from the book, addressing topics like the power of myths, the impact of agriculture, the role of money, and the evolution of human societies.
Take your time with it, and I hope you find it as enlightening as i did.
