'That's important, too,' he concluded.”

Momo Quotes by Michael Ende - Goodreads Momo Quotes by Michael Ende - Goodreads

Momo è una bambina di origine misteriosa che non sa leggere ne scrivere, fatto che ha suscitato molto scalpore in mia figlia dopo aver conosciuto Matilde (di Dhal) che a 5 anni e mezzo aveva letto un'intera biblioteca. Ende himself has said that " Momo is a tribute of gratitude to Italy and also a declaration of love," [6] indicating that the author idealized the Italian way of life. Loy and Goodhew suggested that Ende's perspective on time coincided with his interest in Buddhism and that for example the deliberately slow character of Beppo might be regarded as a Zen master, even though Ende wrote the book long before his visits to Japan. [7] I read this book for the first time as a preteen, but I left it unfinished because I didn't find it engaging or entertaining. A few years later, due to my LOVE for Michaels Endes's The Neverending Story, I decided to give it another try, and managed to finish it that time.Jede Minute, Mensch, sei dir ein volles Leben! – Verachte die Angst und den Wunsch, die Zukunft und die Vergangenheit! – Wenn der Sekundenweiser dir kein Wegweiser in ein Eden deiner Seele wird, so wirds der Monatsweiser noch minder, denn du lebst nicht von Monat zu Monat, sondern von Sekunde zu Sekunde! – Genieße dein Sein mehr als deine Art zu sein, und der liebste Gegenstand deines Bewußtseins sei dieses Bewußtsein selber! – Mache deine Gegenwart zu keinem Mittel der Zukunft, denn diese ist ja nichts als eine kommende Gegenwart, und jede verachtete Gegenwart war ja eine begehrte Zukunft!Beim Lesen von Momo ging mir immer wieder dieses Zitat von Jean Paul durch den Kopf. Er hatte wohl auch schon eine Vorahnung von den „grauen Herren“, jenen widerwärtigen Chronophagen aus diesem Buch.

It's almost like SOMEONE HAS BEEN STEALING MY TIME! All those damn time-savers out there fooled me and tied me up and made my life a dull gray, smoke-filled, DEADLY TEDIOUS world! They kept me from this book... and now I know why! Momo - is the main character of the novel. She is a girl of unknown identity that appeared in the ruins of a theatre. The police had no record of her. She didn't go to school and she spent her time listening to others that were a source of wisdom for her. No hay mucho por decir, creo que muchos conocen o han escuchado sobre está historia, lo que sí no dudo es que se le debe dar una oportunidad. Momo te lleva a replantearte muchas cosas sobre la vida a través de una prosa cálida y tranquila; llena de sucesos que rozan el surrealismo y que te llevan por atmósferas realistas y fantásticas por igual. He tried to convince her that she will damage her friends because the only important thing in life is to acquire more that the others and that friendship and love will come with time. As a replacement for her friends, he offered her a doll Babygirl.The reader is firstly introduced to the verses of an Irish children song: "Twinkle, twinkle little star". In the end there is an epilogue in which Michael Ende admits to have written the whole fairytale based on the memory of what a passenger in a train told him. It is assumed that the passenger could be Master Hora. Momo has been translated into various languages including Arabic, Asturian, [14] Bulgarian, Croatian, Catalan, [15] Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, [16] Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, [17] Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mongolian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, [18] Swedish, Turkish, Thai, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Sinhalese. Really?" said Manny in a dismissive tone. But something made him glance up from his screen, and he saw to his surprise that the visitor was no longer an old man. In fact, he almost looked like a child. No estoy seguro si de niño me hubiera gustado esta historia, sin embargo, lo que sí sé es que ahora que soy mayor la he amado demasiado. Dopo parecchi libri di Roald Dhal e Bianca Pitzorno (letti e ascoltati da veri fan), con "Momo" siamo rimasti incantanti della storia di Michael Ende, uso la prima persona al plurale perché sono sicuro mia figlia condivide ogni mio commento, vista la sua esaltazione dopo la fine di ogni capitolo.
