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.

No tenía nada en mente Momo, ni la peli ni el libro. Me ha encantado, ahora tengo curiosidad por ver que espíritu recogen las películas (1986, 2001) y curiosear la de 2025. Que super vigente el concepto del robo del tiempo en la actual economía de la atención.
