Lucas Zwirner’s translation elegantly captures the dreamy and philosophical tone readers expect from an Ende novel. This edition puts Ende’s novel in the hands of a new translator and a new illustrator, to good effect. Long out of print, this surreal fantasy, by the author of The Neverending Story, is a modern classic for all ages. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the book’s original publication in 1973. When shadowy gray men begin infiltrating the city, her talents are the best weapon humanity has against their invasion.
Momo, a young orphan living on her own in the amphitheater of a nameless European city, is a gifted and empathetic listener who lives in the moment. Simple, elegant prose makes this new edition of a classic tale relatable and touching, resonating with modern readers.
