Explanation:

'The Book Thief' is written by Markus Zusak. The book is historical fiction narrated from 'Death's' point of view. The author used 'Death' as a narrator of the book using 'First Person Limited Narration.'

This narration has helped to shed a light on all the deaths that were happening during the World War 2. Death gave perspective to Linsel's life and other's life as well. When asked Zusak about the reason behind choosing 'Death' as a narrator he said that while writing about this historical event of war, he realized that war and death are bestt friends. So he used this context to narrate the story of war from Death's point of view. Zusak also used Death as a narrator to narrate the readers of the things that were simultaneously going on in Germany, Polland, and Russia. He gave insight of other deaths as well. Zusak said that one thing that was common in these countries was 'Death.' So, this is the reason he chose Death as a narrator.
