In Marcus Zukak's novel The Book Thief, Rudy Steiner behaves in a dangerous fashion. Rudy openly admires the Olympic athlete Jessie Owens, an African-American, something which goes against the white supremacy of Nazi Germany, where he lives. He becomes active in the anti-Nazi resistance movement due to his disbelief in the Nazi's racist ideology. His athletic gifts and frequent winning of foot races attracts the attention of the Nazi leadership, especially given Rudy's outspoken doubt in the Nazi party's belief in white supremacy. Rudy's activity leads to his eventual death at the hand of the Nazis.

As your quote said, "[Books] stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us." It's not necessarily the book that's being spoken about - it's the author. The author is the one who has written this compilation of ideas and information onto their pages. Books are where we've gotten our knowledge of centuries ago, of thousands of miles away. There is no other way that we could have gotten the knowledge of the past than through books.
