Michael Ende's 'Momo' is a captivating audiobook that delves into the world of fantasy, filled with adventure and intriguing characters.© 1973 Thienemann Verlag (Thienemann Verlag GmbH), Stuttgart/Wien. All rights reserved. Made in the EU.
Michael Ende is a renowned German author best known for his enchanting children's literature, and one of his most celebrated works is Momo. This novel, first published in 1973, tells the story of a little girl named Momo, who has the unique ability to listen truly and deeply to people around her. Her character embodies the essence of friendship and the importance of taking the time to enjoy life.
The narrative unfolds in an unnamed city, where Momo lives in an abandoned amphitheater and spends her days playing with her friends. Her world is idyllic until the appearance of the Grey Men, sinister figures who represent a form of time-thievery. These mysterious beings convince the city's inhabitants that saving time is crucial to success and happiness, leading them to unwittingly give up their precious moments for the sake of productivity.
Momo becomes aware of the Grey Men and their impact on her friends and the community. As the story progresses, she embarks on a quest not only to save her friends from the clutches of these time-thieves but also to restore the joy of living in the present. Momo's confrontations with the Grey Men delve into deeper themes that challenge the societal norms surrounding time management and productivity.
The strength of Momo lies in its rich symbolism and enchanting prose. The story acts as a mirror reflecting contemporary society's obsession with efficiency and constant busyness, urging readers to pause and consider the value of time spent in meaningful interactions rather than merely accumulating more time and 'success'.
Ende’s portrayal of time as a magical element that can be manipulated highlights how essential it is to savor life. Momo's gentle nature and her ability to listen attentively show that sometimes, the best thing we can offer to one another is our presence and our willingness to truly hear each other's stories.
Moreover, Momo serves as an allegory about childhood innocence in contrast with the adult world, underscoring the importance of preserving those values in a society that often prioritizes speed over connection. The novel invites readers of all ages to reflect on their relationships, values, and the true meaning of time.
The themes in Momo continue to resonate today, prompting discussions around mental health, mindfulness, and the impact of modern technology on human relationships. This book remains a powerful reminder that amid the chaos of daily life, we should cherish our moments and nurture connections that bring genuine joy and fulfillment.
In conclusion, Momo by Michael Ende is not just a children's story; it is a profound commentary on the human experience. Its timeless message encourages us to reflect on how we spend our time and what truly matters in life.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
