The neverending story book english6/26/2023 Oh well, my lasting thought after reading TNS now is. The first English translation, by Ralph Manheim, was published in 1983. He is supposed to be the hero of the book (or is that Atreyu?), shouldn't we like him?Īll in all I thoroughly enjoyed reading TNS, it brought back a lot of childhood memories, which are always enjoyed, even if they were of the movie and not the book. The Neverending Story ( German: Die unendliche Geschichte) is a fantasy novel by German writer Michael Ende, published in 1979. Ende was going for, why should we like Bastian if he doesn't even like himself, but it just gnawed at me throughout. I understand he was a human in Fantastica and all he was losing himself and his memory and all that jazz, but he didn't keep any shred of likeableness (if that's a word). one of the main things that bothered me throughout, I guess the second half of the book is that I really, really, didn't like Bastian at all. Needless to say it didn't work out to well, and anyway what movie and book are really the same? Anyway, my impressions of the book version of TNS. Read the book that inspired the classic coming-of-age film before it's back onscreen in select theaters this September From award-winning German author Michael Ende, The Neverending Story is a classic tale of one boy and the book that magically comes to life. His most successful titles in the UK are Momo and The Neverending Story, both of which were made. The Neverending Story, what can I say, well, first off, I couldn't help but compare the book to the movie in my head, even though I haven't seen the movie in god knows how many years, and this is the first time I've read the book. He wrote 30 books, not all were translated into English.
