Momo - Michael Ende -english-.pdf

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.

In an age of noise, Momo’s superpower is silence. When she listens to people, they suddenly understand their own problems. When she listens to children, they invent brilliant games. When she listens to the world, she hears the music of the universe. This is a radical idea: healing does not require action, but presence. Momo - Michael Ende -English-.pdf
