"Michael Ende is best known (in English speaking countries) for "The Never Ending Story," but this book is also an example of very clever, imaginative writing. Michael Ende has the ability to tell a story full of imagination, good description, and unique characters, and at the same time give an insightful satire into the problems of society. In short, here is a a writer who both produces good prose and has something to say.
The conflict in this story is between Momo, a girl who takes time to appreciate every person around her, and the Timesavers, who encourage everyone to "get ahead" as much as possible--even to losing the most important things in life. (Ende portrays a greed-driven society with unflinching accuracy.) This book isn't as dear to me as "The Never Ending Story," but it is a book definitely worth reading."
"Buku ini punya Mbak Miaaa *gomawo Onnie* dan di rekomendasiin ama Mbak Echa *gomawo onnie*
Buku ini bercerita tentang seorang gadis kecil bernama Momo. Kedatangan Momo begitu misterius, tidak tahu dari mana dia, tetapi semua orang menyayanginya.
Momo di berika izin untuk tinggal di sebuah amfiteater yang sudah tak terpakai, diberi tempat tidur, dan setiap hari diberi makan.
Semua orang sayang Momo. Tapi lebih penting lagi, semua orang butuh Momo.
Setiap orang yang sedang galau hatinya, sedang banyak masalah, selalu datang ke Momo, dengan cara uniknya mendengarkan keluh kesah orang, Momo membuat orang-orang yang berkeluh kesah tersebut menjadi lebih merasa lega, bahkan masalah mereka menjadi teratasi.
Suatu hari muncul Tuan Kelabu, mereka menyita waktu-waktu dari semua manusia. sehingga manusia menjadi lebih hemat waktu.
Waktu adalah uang, begitu mungkin pepatahanya. Namun orang-orang tidak sadar, semakin mereka berhemat waktu, semakin mereka jauh dari kehidupan.
Wajah mereka menjadi kosong, lelah, dan tidak lagi hidup seperti dulu.
Momo sadar hal itu. kemudian dengan bantuan Empu Hora dan kura-kura *yang-namanya-aku-pun-tak-apal* menyelamatkan manusia dan mengembalikan waktu mereka yang telah direbut :)
Hmmm kadang hanya dengan mendengarkan, kita sudah membantu seseorang mengatasi masalahnya tanpa harus memberi nasihat :)
Bagaimanapun orang mengirit waktu untuk masa depan yang lebih baik, pada akhirnya mereka akan butuh keluarga dan anak-anaknya... Itulah hidup.... Keluarga!"
"Kalo demen buku anak, pastikan kalian telah membaca ceritanya yang satu inii karena baguss bangets pesan moralnya ^o^
I gotta admit kalo ceritanya a bit boring in the beginning tapii makin ke belakang makin otree.. and elo akan menyadari bahwa walau nih buku ditulis sekian puluh tahun yang lalu tapii apa yang diceritakan itu masih nyambung ama kejadian sekarang!
Oohh oohh.. you gotta read it yourself dhee!
And I love prinsip si Beppo-tukang-sapu-jalanan, mantapss bener daahh!! :D
Tenang tenang.. yang malas baca versi English, udah ada versi Indo-nya kok, gua juga baca yang terjemahan :p"
"just reread this book for the first time since I was maybe 12 or 13. I was a bit afraid that rereading it now as a grown-up (which I suppose I am now, at 28) would ruin my memory of the book as an amazing and engaging tale.
But as I read it, I was amazed all over again: The book is just as poignant and magical for me now as it was back then. It is wise and beautiful. And best of all: It is really well suited for reading aloud. Get it and read it aloud to someone you care about. It'll be worth the time (and that sentence will ring in a very different way once you've read the book)."
