Description
A lost fantasy classic by the author of The Neverending Story.
The Neverending Story is Michael Ende’s best-known book, but Momo—published six years earlier—is the all-ages fantasy novel that first won him wide acclaim. After the sweet-talking gray men come to town, life becomes terminally efficient. Can Momo, a young orphan girl blessed with the gift of listening, vanquish the ashen-faced time thieves before joy vanishes forever? With gorgeous new drawings by Marcel Dzama and a new translation from the German by Lucas Zwirner, this all-new 40th anniversary edition celebrates the book’s first U.S. publication in over 25 years.

Siempre es un placer para mí leer algo de Ende, y este libro no fue la excepción. Su manera de escribir siempre hace que me meta en el mundo que creó, me encanta. Momo es una historia atemporal que te hace reflexionar mucho; ¡hay que tener cuidado siempre con los hombres grises!
