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.

Momo
5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
I have read Michael Ende ever since I was a little kid, and I still enjoy his books even today. Momo is one of my favorite books at all time. I really think he's quit an under rated author. He's such a great writer, his books are full of magic and wise life experiences, I introduce him to my kids now, they really love it. I hope more and more people find the charm of his books, and hope his stories live on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming for All Ages
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

This is a seriously charming story with a lesson about time that should not be lost. I heard of this book in the K-Drama My Lovely Sam Soon, and was intrigued by the premise described. I was not disappointed. This book can be enjoyed by adults as well as children.

I read this book aloud to my daughter, and we both enjoyed it. I thought this new translation was great, very readable. Made me feel like I did when I read the German original in my own childhood. Great memories, great story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

This is fantasy fiction for all ages. It is a lovely tale of an exceptional young woman, a commentary on social conformity, and a philosophical meditation on time both in terms of its nature and its role in life. Additionally, it celebrates play as an origin of all worthy human things. For children, it must be exciting. It was so for me as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite for over 30 years

I have loved this book since I was a pre-teen (which was over 30 years ago!). I was so happy to get my own copy and share it with my family. I look forward to when my children can read this. It taught me so many great life lessons regarding the importance of listening, living life in the moment, and following your life's purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lesser known but equally brilliant Ende novel
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014

A lesser known but equally brilliant Ende novel. This is a brilliant fairy tale that is really enjoyable and fun to analyze (if you're into that sort of thing). Hard to find, look out for Spanish versions, I think it was translated but I'm not sure.

I read this book when it first came out in the 80s, and it has stuck with me ever since. I'm so glad to see it's back in print, so I can buy more copies and share it with friends. It offers a wonderful, yet simple, comment about our rush-rush world, and the harm it is doing to us.

Wonderful story that can be read over and over. It was very difficult to find an English translation until the most recent edition, it was well worth the wait.

El pedido llego súper rápido, de un día para otro, genial Amazon.
Respecto al libro, lo compre para mi hija, para su lectura en casa. Le pidieron la Historia Interminable para el colegio y como recordaba de este autor el libro de Momo también se lo cogí, para nuestra sorpresa la profesora a decidido que después de la primera lectura continuaran con este gran libro.

I am very pleased with the customer service from River City Books, they have been very helpful!! I would definitely recommend buying from them and, of course, I highly recommend this book to anyone, both children and grownups!

Es un clásico de la literatura infantil que sigue maravillando a los niños. Hemos leído muchas historias, pero de todas, a sus 11 años, ésta ha sido la que más le ha encantado y motivado a leer más. ¡Muy recomendable!
