The prologue is a unit of narrative that begins a novel but is also detached from it. It is usually labelled to signal the seperation.
The prologue sometimes is an extract from the novel itself, letting the reader know what is coming or at least allowing for reader expectation and the build up of tension.
The prologue to Markus Zusak's "The Book Theif" is used to explain the direction the book is going by providing essential information that is needed to understand the recurring theme.
