Momo - Michael Ende -english-.pdf

The story centers on Momo, a young orphan girl with two extraordinary gifts: she is an exceptional listener, and she possesses a seemingly endless supply of time. Momo lives in the ruins of an ancient amphitheater on the outskirts of a bustling, nameless city. Her friends are the neighborhood children and the honest, hardworking adults like Beppo (the street sweeper) and Gigi (the tour guide).

The story takes place in a unnamed city, which seems to be modeled after Ende's own hometown of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Momo is a peculiar and lonely girl who lives in a dilapidated temple. She has a unique gift - she can listen to people's problems and worries without interrupting or judging them, which provides immense relief to those who share their thoughts with her. As a result, people from all over the city come to sit with Momo and talk about their troubles. Momo - Michael Ende -English-.pdf
