Insightful reviews

Simona Bartolotta: «Quando sei nata?» Momo ci pensò un po' su e infine disse: «Se mi ricordo bene, ci sono sempre stata».

storie. I miei giocattoli preferiti erano le bambole, perché le loro vite le inventavo io; mi piacevano anche i cartoni animati che davano in televisione, mini racconti di dieci minuti da divorare tra una pappetta e l'altra. Quello che amavo di più, però, erano i film d'animazione, in primis quelli della Disney che, ne sono certa, si è arricchita grazie a mia madre che approfittava di ogni occasione per regalarmi una videocassetta nuova (posso oggi vantare una collezione invidiabile). Classici del tipo Il Re Leone, Hercules, Bambi, Il Gobbo di Notre-Dame, ad elencarli tutti ci metterei una vita. Mi piacevano i personaggi, mi piaceva essere presa dal panico o dalla tristezza dei momenti più cupi, farmi travolgere dall'allegria in quelli più lieti. Quando ne guardavo uno per la prima volta, mi voltavo verso mia madre e le chiedevo «Mamma, ora che succede?», solo per impedirle poi di rispondere perché lo volevo scoprire da sola.

Oltre ai classici Disney, altri due cartoni hanno segnato la mia infanzia, entrambi diretti da Enzo D'Alò: uno è La gabbianella e il gatto, tratto dal romanzo di Luis Sepulveda, l'altro Momo alla conquista del tempo, incredibilmente bello ed ispirato, udite udite, proprio da questo romanzo di Michael Ende, dal titolo Momo più un sottotitolo oscenamente lungo che non ricorderò né ora e né mai.

noiosissima e, lo devo ammettere, forse inutile introduzione, vorrete sapere qualcosa del libro.

La trama immagino sia nota un po' a tutti: Momo è una piccola orfanella di non più di dieci anni, che, con l'aiuto e la protezione della gente locale, si insedia nelle rovine di un antico anfiteatro.

Ben presto si circonda di amici, ed è felice perché non ha altro da desiderare. La faccenda si complica quando fanno il loro ingresso i Signori Grigi, i ladri di tempo, che non temono nessuno se non lei, la piccola Momo.

Non voglio anticiparvi il resto. Ora tutto è nelle mani della vostra curiosità.

bambini, ed è proprio a loro che lo stile di Ende è rivolto, benché faccia spesso sfoggio di termini un po' più ricercati che un bambino non può conoscere. Questo linguaggio "di formazione" risulta particolarmente gradevole per un lettore più adulto, dal momento che si fa

leggere piacevolmente ma non è mai del tutto terra terra.

conto che conosco la piccola Momo sin dall'infanzia, che sempre l'ho tenuta nel cuore e che, chi ha letto anche solo due o tre delle mie recensioni lo sa, io sono sentimentale all'inverosimile per certe cose.

Nutro un affetto spassionato per la tartaruga Cassiopea, che vede mezz'ora nel futuro e comunica facendo apparire sul suo guscio ciò che deve dire. Di Ende amo anche la sua stramberia, a chi sarebbe mai venuta in mente una tartaruga del genere?

Se c'è una cosa, invece, che ho da rimproverare al libro piuttosto che alla trasposizione cinematografica è il finale, che ho trovato troppo affrettato nell'uno mentre perfetto e ancora più dolce nel secondo.

Per il resto, io amo questa storia. Stop. Nient'altro da aggiungere.

Adesso, per concludere in bellezza, ci vorrebbe la tenerissima Cassiopea che arriva, lemme lemme, con sul guscio scritta quella piccola parola, ma sì, quella di quattro lettere che inizia con la f...

Michelle: THIS is how to write a novel-length fairy tale. The characters are whole and human, the fantasy pure, and all else perfect. I must have more of Michael Ende's work.

Some stories that deal with magic don't explain anything, not even the rules by which their magic operates. Others make too many rules, turning it into a confusing science. Not so here.

Like fairy tales, we are introduced to a magical object, told the rules which constrain it, but now HOW it works, and move on. The reader is not left in the dust, but the mystery and wonder are whole.

Symbolism in fairy tales is often very obvious, but the very structure of the genre permits this.

I'm not talking about the idiotic good people=beautiful and evil people=ugly that none of the characters--except maybe the Author's Pet--can see through, but how good and evil take off their masks in Fantasy Land. Good can be a withered old man or a ragged and dirty child as well as a fairy princess, and evil is just as recognizable in a bowler hat as in a horned helmet.

And yet, everyone has a personality, and even the villains are treated as people by the author.

Fairy tales are more true than reality. This is how to convey a clear message that actually enhances the story. The men in grey may not be real, but we all know time-savers, Beppos and Guidos. If we're lucky, we may even know a Momo. In some urban fantasies, authors will

sometimes mock popular culture, despite it not adding anything to the story. Modern toys that do everything for the child, leaving nothing to the imagination, are stripped of their glamor and shown for what they are, adding to the depth of the book instead of allowing the author to snicker at how unbelievably STUPID so-and-so is.

If you intend to write fantasy, read this book. If you just enjoy reading fantasy, read this book. If you like a good story, read this book. If people tell you to read more, start here. It is brilliant, but not difficult, and the more you read it, the more you will gain.

Frahorus: Che dire, strabiliante! Non ho ancora letto la storia infinita, ma se tutti i romanzi di Ende sono come Momo, non vedo l'ora di divorarli... La storia è fiabesca, piena di simbologie morali sul fare il bene ed evitare il male, la protagonista è una bambina di dieci anni che ascolta gli altri ed è saggia come un santone anziano, come dimenticare la mitica Cassiopea, la tartaruga che prevede il futuro di mezz'ora o come scordare i minacciosi uomini grigi (il male) che si impossessano del tempo degli uomini? Storia favolosa, così bella che mi sembra strano che ancora non vi abbiano fatto un film o una serie di cartoni animati... Da non perdere!

Anuschka: Grandios!

Anna: A fairy story of a novel, 'Momo' is the type of ebook you could learn as a baby and dwell in one other universe of childishness, otherwise you can learn it as and locate it deeper than you had suggestion possible, otherwise you can learn it as an grownup - which i'm going to do after which see what i will achieve from it then. it really is one in every of my all-time-favourites, not just since you can learn it at no matter what your age, but in addition as the tale includes a lot realizing of humans in a 'Momo' is a narrative approximately time (and literally, time): Time taken, time stolen, time spend and time left. it's set in a calm little town, most likely like such a lot different towns, with a inhabitants of worrying parents, workers, ingenious children, siblings and daily life. someday the little woman Momo arrives to town, wearing a man's coat that's means too mammoth for her, and she or he has this fabulous present - the facility to hear the folk round her. quickly she turns into everybody's friend, and the electorate turn out "adopting" her.

The heroine, Momo, possesses a number of the characteristics a conventional heroine might be able of: Determination, bravery and individuality. at the different hand, she is yet a baby left by myself and brought care of via humans have provided their hearts, and a baby who desires to supply again the affection she has received. In my opinion, the main marvelous factor approximately this tale is the sharpness within the message - it calls on us to prevent (yes, take a little time and STOP) and view what's particularly very important in our global and in our hearts. and judge who is accountable for it.

Dan: i purchased this ebook numerous months in the past at a used ebook store, yet I do away with analyzing it simply because i used to be afraid it would not stay as much as Michael Ende's different recognized book, which additionally occurs to be my favourite book, The Neverending Story. whereas Momo isn't really as advanced and extra bluntly allegorical, it truly is captivating

Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) and emotionally stunning. probably i'm extra naive than so much readers, yet I felt myself swept up into this book's persuasive global within which teenagers are forgetting tips to play and adults simply care approximately saving time rather than having fun with life--a world, of course, a great deal like our own.I was once from time to time amused, delighted, and deeply moved by way of this little book. There are usually not many books i have learn in a day, yet i used to be actually interpreting this as I walked round the urban simply because I easily could not cease reading. There are a few books which certainly affected the way in which I see the world, and i've a powerful trust this one has turn into one among those.Though extra jaded and literary readers may well recoil at this book's childlike naivite, i feel a person who provides this booklet an opportunity will fall below its spell.
