Before
moving to Out-With, Bruno enjoys a simple life in his family's magnificent home. Bruno mentions
that his home in Berlin is enormous and has four floors, including a basement, where the
family's cook and servants live. The large home is also ornate with massive oak doors and an
impressive banister, which runs from the very top floor to the ground floor. Bruno mentions that
the banister is his favorite thing about the Berlin house and comments on the extensive amount
of nooks and crannies that he loves to explore. Bruno continually slides down the banister and
pretends to be an explorer as he looks for undiscovered places to hide.
He
also enjoys looking out of the small slanted window on the fourth floor, which overlooks the
city. Bruno also is fascinated by the mystery surrounding his father's office, which he is not
allowed to enter without permission. In addition to the home's massive size, ornate features,
and extraordinary banister, Bruno also likes the fact that his grandparents live nearby.
Unfortunately, Bruno is forced to move to Out-With when his father receives a promotion from the
Fury. Bruno's new home in Out-With is not as impressive or comfortable as his home in Berlin and
he initially cannot stop complaining about their new residence. However, Bruno ends up meeting a
Jewish boy named Shmuel and gradually adapts to his new environment.
