New Releases by Markus Zusak

Liefdesbrief aan zijn honden van de auteur van De boekendief

Now in paperback, this poignant, funny, and brutally honest memoir by one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells the story of his family’s adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs—a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible of dogs, family. There’s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us . . . It’s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things. What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs—Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm? The answer can only be chaos: There are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed. There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love—and the joy and recognition of family. Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty—but also the visceral truth of the natural world—straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.

There''s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us. It''s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things... What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs - Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm? The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed ... not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour of the morning. There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love - and the joy and recognition of family. From one of the world''s great storytellers comes a tender, motley and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder; a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty - but also the visceral truth of the natural world - straight to our doors and into our lives, and change us forever.

''You will see books sparking wonder or anger; throwing open windows into other languages, other cultures, other minds; causing people to fall in love or to fight for what is right. ''And more than anything, over and over again, you will see books and words being given, received and read - and in turn prompting further generosity.'' Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of global literacy non-profit, Room to Read, The Gifts of Reading forms inspiring, unforgettable, irresistible proof of the power and necessity of books and reading.

Il était une fois la merveilleusement loufoque famille Dunbar... Chez les Dunbar, on vit un joyeux bordel : sans parents, sans règles et entouré d''animaux. Cinq frères dont le quotidien n''est que fourberies, défis en tout genre, et coups de coeur. Mais aujourd''hui, le père qui les a abandonné revient avec une demande étrange : Lequel de ses garçons acceptera de construire un pont avec lui ? Tous s''indignent, sauf Clay, le fils du milieu, le plus fragile. Mais pourquoi accepter cette main tendue d''un père qui est parti ? Dans la veine de Légendes d''Automne et Au milieu coule une rivière, un grand roman sur le lien qui unit père et fils; et une superbe histoire d''amour qui met à l''honneur le coeur brisé des hommes. Une saga familiale bouleversante de justesse et de poésie. "Lumineux, brillant et plein de vie." THE GUARDIAN "Chaleureux et sensible, une fable sur l''amour, l''art, la redemption. Chahuteuse et joyeuse, spirituelle et bouleversante." THE TIME "Un de ces romans monumentaux qui fait traverser le temps et l''espace de manière très profonde." THE WASHINGTON POST

Em O construtor de pontes, presente e passado se fundem na voz de Matthew, o filho mais velho da familia Dunbar. Sentado diante de uma maquina de escrever antiga, ele nos conta sobre um dos seus quatro irmãos, Clay. Todos mudaram por causa dele. Em uma tarde ensolarada o patriarca dos Dunbar, que anos antes abandonara os cinco filhos a própria sorte, retorna com um pedido inusitado: precisa de ajuda para construir uma ponte. Escorraçado pelos jovens, o homem vai embora novamente, mas deixa seu endereço. Acontece que há um traidor entre os irmãos: Clay. E ele que, junto ao pai, dá inicio ao projeto mais ambicioso de suas vidas: uma ponte feita de pedras, mas também de lembranças, capaz de construir novos caminhos. O construtor de pontes narra a jornada de uma família marcada pela culpa e pela morte.

9歲小女孩莉賽爾和弟弟在戰亂中被迫送到寄養家庭，但弟弟不幸死在旅途中，莉賽爾在弟弟冷清的喪禮後偷了一本掘墓工人的手冊，為的是要紀念自己永遠失去的家庭。 寄養家庭位在慕尼黑凋蔽貧困的區域，大人彼此仇恨咒罵，老師狠毒無情，戰火時時威脅人命。莉賽爾每晚抱著掘墓工人手冊入睡，惡夢不斷。養父為了讓她安眠，於是為她朗誦手冊內容，並開始教她識字。 學會認字進而開始讀書的莉賽爾，儘管生活艱苦，吃不飽穿不暖，卻發現了一項比食物更讓她難以抗拒的東西——書，她忍不住開始偷書，用偷來的書繼續學習認 字。從此莉賽爾進入了文字的奇妙世界，讓她熬過了現實的苦難，也不可思議地幫助了周圍同樣承受苦難的人：讀書給躲在養父家地下室的猶太人聽，在空襲時為躲 入防空洞中的街坊鄰居朗讀故事，安慰了每顆惶惶不安的心，潛移默化改變了原本粗鄙的性情。 對照著戰場上萬人之間的爭奪殘殺，莉賽爾藉由閱讀與文字所散發的力量，讓死神驚訝地睜大了眼睛，一面收取戰場上的靈魂，一面思索人性的深奧：為什麼人類一面展現殘酷的殺戮，一面又有發自內心的關愛呢？ 多年以後，死神前去迎接莉賽爾的靈魂。死神坐在喧囂的大馬路旁，忍不住感嘆道：「人哪！人性縈繞我的心頭不去！人性怎能同時間如此光明，又如此邪惡！」 ―― 馬格斯．朱薩克作品電子書預告 ―― 《克雷的橋》 2019年1月，重磅上市 每個家庭都有自己的故事，故事裡總有一座橋，這座橋，就是家人。 鄧巴家的男孩沒有母親，也不需要父親。 母親的病逝雖在他們心中留下傷痛，父親的離家卻讓兄弟羈絆更加堅強。但在他們以為人生也許就是如此時，父親突然回到家，提出令人不解的要求：他希望五人跟他去蓋一座橋……？！ 經歷十三年沉潛淬練，愛與溫暖的傳信人馬格斯‧朱薩克再次帶來撼動人心的美麗作品。這個充滿心碎與感動的家族史詩將揪住你的心臟，直至最後一頁。 《傳信人》 一趟驚奇、神祕又詭譎的傳信之旅， 有笑有愛也有淚！ 不滿二十歲的艾德靠開計程車賺錢。他的人生不特別爛，但也不特別好。然而，一切都在他阻止了一樁銀行搶案後改變――一張寫上陌生住址與時間的方塊A撲克牌來到門前，上面寫著各種荒謬任務，待他完成。艾德的人生也因此改變！ 作者簡介 馬格斯‧朱薩克（Markus Zusak） 一九七五年生於雪梨，父母為奧地利與德國後裔。馬格斯．朱薩克可說是當代澳洲小說界獲獎最多、著作最豐、讀者群也最廣的作家。迄今出版《偷書賊》（木馬文化，2005）、《傳信人》（木馬文化，2008）、《克雷的橋》（木馬文化，2019）等書。 「你總是希望每字每句都能完美，要把故事說對、說好。其實我的心情就像書中的主角克雷，他想造出一座最美麗也最完美的橋――可是內心深處，他知道這不可能做到。但是這個嘗試的動作是美好而且了不起的。我在寫這本書時就是這個感覺。」 藉由《克雷的橋》，朱薩克想描繪一個充滿缺陷、彼此恨著又愛著的家族；他想讓讀者感受到文字的生命與力道。對於朱薩克的成功，你可以說他擁有與生俱來的寫作天賦，但這一切更可能歸功於他對完美的追求，十三年間持續創作，未曾間斷。「身為作家，我是這樣覺得：其實你一直處於熱身的狀態。就某方面來說，寫書就是為下一本作品熱身。」這是他的創作之道，而在《克雷的橋》之後，我們必能再次迎來他超越自我的下一本鉅作。 www.randomhouse.com/features/markuszusak Facebook:/markuszusak Instagram: @markuszusak Tumblr:www.zusakbooks.com 譯者簡介 呂玉嬋 生於台北，藝術碩士。喜愛戲劇、文學及旅行。

Let me tell you about our brother. The fourth Dunbar boy named Clay. Everything happened to him. We were all of us changed through him. The Dunbar boys bring each other up in a house run by their own rules. A family of ramshackle tragedy, their mother is dead, their father has fled, they love and fight, and learn to reckon with the adult world. It is Clay, the quiet one, who will build a bridge; for his family, for his past, for his sins. He builds a bridge to transcend humanness. To survive. A miracle and nothing less. Yes, always for us there was a brother, and he was the one, the one of us amongst five of us, who took all of it on his shoulder. At once an existential riddle and a search for redemption, this tale of five brothers coming of age in a house with no rules brims with energy, joy and pathos.

Más de diez años después de La ladrona de libros, el extraordinario best seller que conquistó a diez millones de lectores, Markus Zusak vuelve con una saga familiar inolvidable y arrolladora, inspirada en el arte y la cultura clasica. Los cinco hermanos Dunbar viven en un hogar sin adultos, cuidando los unos de los otros, luchando por sobrevivir en un mundo que los ha abandonado, hasta que su padre, el hombre que los dejó sin mirar atrás, vuelve a casa. ¿Por qué ha regresado? Matthew, cínico y poético, es quien lleva las riendas de la familia; Rory, siempre falta a clase; Henry, una máquina de hacer dinero, y el pequeño Tomy, coleccionista de mascotas que ha colonizado la casa con animales disfuncionales, como la mula Aquiles y Rosy, el border collie. Y luego está el silencioso Clay, perseguido por un suceso del que no se puede hablar. Pero la historia se remonta tiempo atrás: a ese abuelo cuya pasión por los antiguos griegos aún llena de color sus vidas, y a los padres, que se conocieron gracias a un piano extraviado. Clay tratará de revelar su trágico secreto y de construir un puente para salvar a su familia y salvarse también a sí mismo. Los elogios con los que The New York Times recibió La ladrona de libros , la primera gran novela de Zusak, siguen vigentes para El puente de Clay : «Los lectores jóvenes necesitan este tipo de alternativas a la rigidez ideológica, así como exploraciones sobre la importancia de las historias. Y, pensándolo bien, también los adultos.» La crítica ha dicho: «El tipo de libro que puede cambiarte la vida.» The New York Times « La ladrona de libros deslumbra por sus extraordinarios personajes, su capacidad de emocionar sin clichés y, ante todo, por su omnipresente reflexión sobre el valor de las palabras.» Ricard Ruiz Garzón, El Periódico de Catalunya «Elegante, filosófica, conmovedora, bella e importante.» Kirkus Reviews «Merece estar junto al Diario de Ana Frank en nuestra biblioteca.» USA Today «Una sagafamiliar tan emocionante como arrolladora. Sin duda, uno de los fenómenos editoriales de esta temporada.» Alter Ego «Con un modo de narrar poco común, ágil, no lineal, a veces caótico, Zusak consigue captar la atención del lector desde el principio.» Encarnación Herraiz, Aceprensa «Una narrativa extraordinaria.» SLJ «Zusak no endulza nada, pero logra que un tema aparentemente triste resulte tolerable tal como lo hizo Kurt Vonnegut en Matadero cinco: con un humor sombrío, reconfortante.» Time Magazine «Un gran logro. [...] Un libro desafiante en extensión y tema.» Publishers Weekly «Uno de los libros más esperados en años.» The Wall Street Journal «Markus Zusak supera las expectativas -ya de por sí altas dado el éxito de La ladrona de libros- y nos lleva a través del desafío que supone la pérdida y de la alegría de ser amado: nos enseña lo quesignifica vivir. Un libro para saborear, una lectura placentera, una voz que permanecerá viva: eso sí es saber contar historias.» Jackie Law, Bookmunch «Memorable.» Patricia Nicol, The Sunday Times «Vale la pena esperar cuando lo que llega es El puente de Clay, menudo festín de libro. Una historia ideal para perderse en las noches de otoño.» Charlotte Heathcote, The Sunday Express

The unforgettable, New York Times bestselling family saga from Markus Zusak, the storyteller who gave us the extraordinary bestseller THE BOOK THIEF, lauded by the New York Times as "the kind of book that can be life-changing." NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY • THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "One of those monumental books that can draw you across space and time into another family’s experience in the most profound way." —The Washington Post "Mystical and loaded with heart, it''s another gorgeous tearjerker from a rising master of them." —Entertainment Weekly “Devastating, demanding and deeply moving.” —Wall Street Journal The breathtaking story of five brothers who bring each other up in a world run by their own rules. As the Dunbar boys love and fight and learn to reckon with the adult world, they discover the moving secret behind their father’s disappearance. At the center of the Dunbar family is Clay, a boy who will build a bridge—for his family, for his past, for greatness, for his sins, for a miracle. The question is, how far is Clay willing to go? And how much can he overcome? Written in powerfully inventive language and bursting with heart, BRIDGE OF CLAY is signature Zusak.

TORNA DOPO 12 ANNI L''AUTORE DI STORIA DI UNA LADRA DI LIBRI «C''era una volta, nella marea del passato dei Dunbar, una donna che aveva molti nomi.» C''erano stati anche un nonno con la passione per i miti greci, una nonna e la sua macchina da scrivere, un pianoforte consegnato nel posto sbagliato, una ragazza con le lentiggini che amava le corse dei cavalli, e un padre che, dopo la morte della moglie, aveva abbandonato i suoi cinque figli: Matthew, Rory, Henry, Clay e Tommy. I fratelli Dunbar. Costretti a vivere soli, e a definire da soli le regole della propria esistenza. E quando il padre tornerà sarà Clay l''unico dei fratelli che accetterà di aiutarlo e costruire con lui un ponte, concreto e metaforico nello stesso tempo: lo farà per la sua famiglia, per il loro passato, per il loro futuro, per espiare le colpe, per affrontare il dolore. Lo farà perché lui è l''unico che conosce tutta la storia, e per questo è obbligato a sperare. Ma fino a che punto Clay potrà portare avanti la più difficile di tutte le sue corse? Quanti degli ostacoli che la vita gli ha posto davanti riuscirà a superare? Quanta sofferenza può sopportare un ragazzo? Dodici anni dopo Storia di una ladra di libri, Markus Zusak torna con un romanzo di lancinante bellezza, che non ha paura di commuovere e che lo conferma come uno dei più importanti autori della scena letteraria mondiale: la storia di Clay, dei suoi fratelli e della sua famiglia è di quelle destinate a incidere a lungo nell''immaginario collettivo, per la densità di vita e sentimenti, per il racconto travolgente, per la voce acuta, calda e suggestiva. «Era andata così. E tutto questo aveva portato a quel ponte.»

Det er 1939. Nazityskland. Landet holder vejret. Døden har aldrig haft så travlt før, og det ser ikke ud til at blive bedre. Liesel Memingers liv ændres, da hun ved sin brors grav får fat på en lille ting, der ligger begravet i sneen. Det er "Håndbog for kirkegårdsgravere". Bogen er blevet glemt der, og det bliver Liesels første bogtyveri. Derefter begynder en kærlighedsaffære med bøger og ord, efterhånden som Liesel lærer at læse af sin plejefar. Snart stjæler hun bøger fra nazisternes bogbrændinger, fra borgmesterens kones bibliotek, fra hvor der overhovedet kan findes bøger. Men det er farlige tider. Da Liesels plejefamilie skjuler en jøde i kælderen, både åbner og lukker det verden for Liesel. "Bogtyven" er fortalt af Døden. Det er en historie om ordenes magt og bøgernes evne til at være sjælens føde. Markus Zusak har med sin fantastiske og intense fortælleevne givet os en bog, der vil blive stående længe.

Ed Kennedy, dix-neuf ans, chauffeur de taxi, a peu de raison d’être fier de sa vie : son père est mort d’alcoolisme, il est désespérément amoureux de sa meilleure amie, Audrey, et il partage un appartement délabré avec le Portier, son chien, fidèle mais odorant. Il n’a pas grand-chose d’autre à faire que conduire son taxi, jouer aux cartes et boire avec ses amis aussi perdus que lui. Mais un jour, il découvre un mystérieux message dans sa boîte aux lettres : un as de carreau où sont inscrites trois adresses. Que signifie cette carte ? Que va-t-il trouver à ces adresses ? Pour Ed, c’est le début d’une enquête qui va le conduire de mystère en mystère à travers la ville et l’amener à aider les gens qu’ils rencontrent, avec une obsession en tête : qui lui envoie ces messages ? Ed pour y répondre se voit ainsi forcé de se dépasser et à son tour nous questionne : et si nous vivions tous en dessous de nos capacités ?
