Michael Ende: Momo (Revised Edition Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Publication)
Michael Ende's 'Momo,' a strange story about thieves who steal time and a girl who retrieves the time they stole, has been republished in a revised edition for its 50th anniversary. First published in Germany in 1973, it won the German Youth Literature Prize the following year, in 1974. Translated and published in 53 countries around the world and selling more than 12 million copies, it is a record-breaking bestseller. Now, 50 years after publication, it is counted among the most important works of the 20th century and has taken its place among the classics of our time. Since it was published in Korea in 1999 by BIR using an exclusive agreement with the German publisher Thienemann, it has held the place of the country's best-selling children's book for 25 years, establishing itself as a must-read of our time and a modern classic. 'Momo,' the greatest masterpiece left by fantasy literature master Michael Ende, borrows the form of a dreamlike, mysterious fairy tale to sharply reflect the world we live in, earning it the description of a fairy tale for adults that follows in the footsteps of 'The Little Prince.' This fantastical adventure, imbued with the nostalgia of fairy tales, is full of deep insights into time, life, and relationships, and deeply resonates in the hearts of children and adults alike across generations. It awakens us to the precious value of 'time,' which is always given to everyone and so easy to take for granted, and tells us the most essential truths about our 'lives,' made up of each passing moment, and the 'relationships' between people that fill them with warm affection.
