Michael Andreas Helmuth Ende (12 November 1929 – 28 August 1995) was a German writer of fantasy and children's fiction. He is best known for his epic fantasy The Neverending Story; other famous works include Momo and Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver). His works have been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 35 million copies,[1] and adapted as motion pictures, stage plays, operas and audio books. Ende is one of the most popular and famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's fiction. He was not strictly a children's writer, however, as he wrote books for adults too. Ende's writing could be described as a surreal mixture of reality and fantasy.

The book is equally lovely for grownups as for children - there is something for every age in this book. This specific book has a nice cover and high quality print. The delivery was fast and smooth.

This is one of my FAVORITE books ever. It is a children novel, but honestly, everyone should read this. I think the should be required reading in high schools to make young people aware of what is important in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and beautiful book for both adults and children
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2007
Momo lives in the ruins of the ancient amphitheater alone. She is in rags and an orphan. Though she could stay there by the residents' help at first, she becomes indispensable to them more and more. That is because they get a solution or confidence while the residents are telling Momo about their stories. However, Momo does not do anything to them. She just listens to them with the utmost attention and sympathy. One day, the gray men suddenly appear in the city. They are people who work for the company called TimeSaving and steal time from the residents. Many residents who were happy are being changed by the gray men little by little into busy people who do not have time to enjoy themselves. After Momo finds out the reason that people are getting busy, Momo starts an adventure with the tortoise and Professor Hora to rescue the residents from the gray men.

This book is for an adult who is pressed for time. This book includes many valuable lessons and suggests a right direction of life to people. I could learn from this book how important listening to other people is, and I also could think about time I have and spend every day. Momo helps people to listen to themselves by talking to her. Even though I have tried to listen to other people, I would find myself telling more about things I wanted to say. This book makes people realize once again about the importance of listening. Like this book says, people live busily to pursue their happiness, but they tend to lose their happiness because of that. Even if people make lots of money, they could lose their important things and get unhappy. This book tells us that we should take care of people who are around us more and try to feel the change of seasons and appreciate our life. How to spend time that we have evenly is up to us. We can make us be pursued by time. In addition, this book is very exciting. The adventure that Momo shows to take back time from the gray men led me into the exciting and fantastic world.

Not just for children but super important for 2018. The original horspiel from 1973 is the best, all the rest are bland readers in my view.
We actually need this story to fix the world!

2.0 out of 5 stars I don't wanna do what Momo says I should!
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022

I was seriously disappointed by Momo. Usually my tastes are not that different from the tastes of the world. If everyone likes a book, I will probably like it. That's all the more true because I like books.

I didn't like this one. It felt to me that, under its thin story, it was really just a sermon -- a book telling me how I ought to think and act. I don't like books that preach at me. I like them even less when I disagree with what they're preaching. I LIKE my computers and microwave oven and iPad and digital clocks and kindle. I believe that time is precious, and that time-saving conveniences and time management are GOOD things. So, that's two strikes against Momo. Strike 3 is that Momo is boring. By that I mean both the book and the character.

It felt to me like it was trying to be The Little Prince and missing by miles.

Undoubtedly my failure to like Momo is a sign of serious moral failings, of a lack of intelligence, or discernment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein super Buch von Michael Ende
Reviewed in Germany on April 27, 2024
Verified Purchase
Michael Endes Momo ist ein zeitloses Meisterwerk, das die Herzen von Jung und Alt gleichermaßen berührt. Die Geschichte des kleinen Mädchens Momo, das gegen die grauen Herren kämpft, ist eine tiefgründige Parabel auf unsere heutige Gesellschaft, in der Zeit oft mehr als Währung denn als Lebensqualität betrachtet wird. Mit seiner einfühlsamen Erzählweise und den liebevoll gezeichneten Charakteren, wie der weisen Schildkröte Kassiopeia und dem bedächtigen Beppo Straßenkehrer, lehrt uns Ende, die Bedeutung von Zeit und menschlicher Nähe neu zu schätzen.

Aunque en general prefiero libros físicos, leer Momo en formato electrónico fue excelente idea! Un libro entretenido, con contenido filosófico, en alemán comprensible, y un diccionario a la punta de los dedos para las dudas. Fue un excelente libro para empezar a volver a practicar alemán por primera vez en casi dos décadas. Lo recomiendo!
