Was ist Zeit?: Fast 15 Jahre sind vergangen, seit dem ich das letzte Mal "Momo" gelesen habe und mehr durch Zufall bin ich im verstaubten Bücherregal darauf gestoßen. Abstauben musste warten, denn ich fand mich lesend auf dem Sofa wieder.
Schon nach wenigen Seiten war ich so gefesselt von Momo und ihrer fantastischen Geschiche, dass ich den Rest des Sonntags mit Momo und den schwarezn Herren verbrachte. Unglaublich, wie aktuell auch (oder gerade heute?) das Buch nach wie vor ist. Zeit - das vielleicht wertvollste Gut unserer Zeit. Und so viele Dinge, die uns genau diese Zeit stehlen wollen. Momo gelingt es, die Sinne zu schärfen für den eigenen Umgang mit der uns gegebenen Zeit. Und wie könnte man sie sinnvoller verbringen, als mit einem guten Buch an einem verregneten Sonntag auf dem Sofa?

I hadn’t read this in a long, long time... probably 10 or 15 years ago, and I’m very delighted I dug up a copy. I’d forgotten enough of it that it sucked me in all over again. The magic was still there :) Be bold and daring! Request the book through the library and dive into it sight unseen. Speaking of sight unseen, I realized at the end of the book that while it was illustrated, the artist never forced a face on me. I am left to picture Momo as my pretty little head sees fit. Kinda like a nice MUD I know...

It was originally written in German, and according to Amazon it was made into a movie in 1985 or so, but the film seems to have been released in German with no subtitles. I bet I understand more of it than if it were in Finnish!

If the author’s name looks familiar, he also wrote The Never Ending Story, another great read. ( )

Some books that you read as a child make a lasting impression. You never forget them. However, it is not always a good idea to reread them as an adult. Times change, you've grown up, you've read so many more books that you've become a more critical reader. You remember a book as absolutely scaring or sad, but when you read it again, the magic is gone.

Momo, however, is a book does stand the test of time. On a superficial level it is an adventure of a little girl fighting an army of scary grey men, who steal time. But on a deeper level, it is an ode to the imagination, an ode to friendship and an ode to the beauty of life. It was lovely to read this again, I loved the chapter about the children's fantasies, because it made me remember what it was like to be a child. The book also made me think about my present busy live, the way the hours disappear and how all this adult business gets me so hurried up that I sometimes forget about the truer, and more important things in life.
