About
Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief" tells of Death's chance encounter of a young orphan, Liesel, in the midst of the Second World War. This illustrated cover serves as a representation of Death's constant presence in a period of tremendous pain, suffering, and tragic loss of life.
A single iteration of Death, illustrated wearing a black robe and holding a bright, red book, is a symbol of their interest in Liesel and her journey in life.
