Michael Ende
Momo lives on the outskirts of a large city, in the ruins of an amphitheater. She has nothing of her own except what she finds or accepts as a gift, but she has an amazing gift; she knows how to listen. One day, the gray gentlemen who are chasing people's precious time suddenly appear - and Momo seems to be the only one who can stop them. The weapons at the disposal of the little girl to fight the huge army of gray gentlemen are a flower and a turtle. A book about the enigma of time, an enigma that fascinates children and adults alike, who have not forgotten to be surprised by things that seem normal. A fairy tale? Or a novel? A fascinating parable for our immovable age, here is the story of Momo.
