Momo (Young Adults) (Serie Roja)

by Michael Ende

“Momo” (aka “The Grey Gentlemen” or “The Men in Grey”) is my 2nd favorite book of his that has landed itself a cozy home on my bookshelf. This also has an English movie adaptation that was produced in 1986, in which Michael Ende himself played a small role as the narrator. The book is still better, but the movie follows fairly well compared to most.

Ende writes a beautiful tale of Momo and how she unlocks the secrets of time to save those that she loves. There’s a lot of underlying meaning here; a classic worth reading.

I adored the creativity in Michael Ende’s books during my childhood years but I also have an abundance of appreciation for his work as an adult today. Im still fascinated that no matter how many time I read these books - I still walk away with something to ponder. 🤔
