Editorial reviews

Unsere Lebenszeit ist entweder Herz-Zeit - oder verlorene Zeit

Hast du in deiner Jugend Momo genauso geliebt wie wir? Dann entdecke Michael Endes Kinderbuch noch einmal neu - als Hörbuch, meisterhaft vorgetragen von Gert Heidenreich.

Momo ist ein zeitloses Märchen und Michael Ende war bei seinem Erscheinen Mitte der 1970er Jahre seiner Zeit voraus. Der märchenhafte Roman erscheint beim Hören wie eine Parabel auf unsere schnelllebige Zeit. Da ist auf der einen Seite Momo, ein Mädchen, das nichts besitzt und außerhalb der Zeit steht. Diese Zeit teilt sie: Sie hört den Menschen zu und hilft ihnen, sich selbst zu finden. Doch dann treten die grauen Herren auf den Plan, die den Menschen suggerieren, sie müssten Zeit sparen - und ihnen doch nur Lebenszeit stehlen und sie mit tödlicher Langeweile infizieren.

Nimm dir Zeit und hör zu: Der Schriftsteller und Radiosprecher Gert Heidenreich entpuppt sich als wahrer Geschichtenerzähler und erweckt die Protagonisten aus Endes Roman zum Leben.

Publisher's summary

Momo lebt am Rande einer Großstadt in den Ruinen eines Amphitheaters. Sie besitzt nichts als das, was sie findet oder was man ihr schenkt, und eine außergewöhnliche Gabe: Sie hat immer Zeit und ist eine wunderbare Zuhörerin. Eines Tages treten die grauen Herren auf den Plan. Sie haben es auf die kostbare Lebenszeit der Menschen abgesehen. Momo ist die Einzige, die ihnen noch Einhalt gebieten kann.

Gert Heidenreich entführt den Hörer mit seiner warmen, dunklen Erzählstimme in Momos Welt.

The reader makes the whole story better

I had seen the movie as a kid and even read the book. But this audible was the best. the story is beautiful and makes you think about the way you live but even better was Gert reading. His voice is calming has many different voices and really bring the story to life.
I highly recommend this audible to everyone who enjoys to listen :)

Well Worth Your Time

My first attempt at listening to an audio book in German. I chose this book because it's an old favourite that I wanted to re-read anyway. No problem - the reading performance is excellent; very clear, the words easy to distinguish. And the story itself still good, and as poignant today as it was 30-40 years ago when I first read it, about how trying to save time can lead to the exact opposite. (Why don't we ever learn??)

A great reading of a timeless masterpiece

This is a very nice reading of one of the all time great stories. Entertaining for children and thought provoking for adults. Eerily precient.

It's an amazing story!

I read Momo when I was 12 years old and now I am two times old than that. I am learing German so I bought this Deutsch Hörbuch, amazing story and high quality performance made me happy!

Heilsam für die kunstliebende Kinderseele

Es steckt so viel berührende Wahrheit in diesem Roman. Ich wünschte jedes Kind würde ihn lesen und im Herzen behalten wie es älter wird ; und dass die Erwachsenen wieder erwachen dürfen und aus ihrem Hamsterrad aussteigen dürfen. Dass wir alle einander wieder mehr zuhören, richtig zuhören, und nie die Freude an den kleinen Dingen und Tätigkeiten verlieren, sondern alles was wir tun mit Sinn, Liebe und Freude füllen. Eine wunderbare Geschichte.

A wonderful fantastic story!

The story allows the listener to become part of the story and connect with the protagonist Momo. It is a story worth telling and listening to as well as contemplating its value in our everyday lives.

This book should be made into a movie!

The voice of Gert Heidenreich is so warm and it really makes the reader listen. It feels like a grandfather is telling the story only and only to you! You should buy this, worth every penny!
