MoMo by Michael Ende


This book has been in my book shelf since I was little. I remember it as a good story but not any details. So I re-read it after more than a decade.

And it turned out to be a really great story with lots of wisdom and knowledge. This book is originally published in 1970's in Germany for young ages, but I believe it's more for ages of mine. Because when I was a kid, it was still a good story with some exciting adventures, but what the author truly want to tell you could be understood only by the ones who started to lose their time just like the ones in the story. I mean I want more adults to read this great book, not just kids.

Michael must have had great insight and excellent foresight just like Hayao Miyazaki. He must have been trying to warn children who will build the world in the future about the danger they would face sooner or later.
