Books about the movie

Well, what is to say about Michael Endes novel? About the contents or its interpretation I don't want to write anything. First because I don't like to bore you. And secondly I believe that everyone who hasn't read the book yet should make his own experiences while reading it. In spite of it I invite you to mail me your opinions. What are your favorite and key moments? Or which scenes are very remarkable? I will publish all opinions here at this place.

It remains a small list with editions of the novel.

Bastian entdeckt in einem Antiquariat ein Buch, das ihn magisch anzieht: »Die unendliche Geschichte«. Er liest darin vom Reich Phantásien, in dem sich auf unheimliche Weise das Nichts ausbreitet, und vom jungen Krieger Atréju, der auf der Suche nach einem Menschenkind ist, das die »Kindliche Kaiserin« von ihrer schweren Krankheit heilen kann. Bald merkt Bastian, dass er immer mehr in die Handlung hineingerät. Sollte er selbst jenes Menschenkind sein?

This edition adds one letter/chapter for the Polish letter "Ł", and removes "Q" to compensate that addition, so there are still 26 chapters as usual. All the chapters in-between are moved by one letter.

Czechian (Czechoslowakian) Editions

Title: Příběh, který nikdy neskončí
Publisher: Albatros
Edition 1988, "Further details unknown. A bit "mysterious" edition that few people ever saw. A rarity." Remark from Jiri Bernasek
Edition 2001, ISBN: 80-00-00957-9; "The same as 2006 edition, which is in fact just a reprint with a different ISBN. I used to have a copy from 2001, but I haven't it anymore. Different title and different translation from the 1988 version (the copyright page in the book says so), also new illustrations (judging from copyright date)." Anm. von Jiri Bernasek
Edition 2006 (Bild links), ISBN: 978-80-00-01702-0; "basically same as 2001 edition" Remark from Jiri Bernasek
Translation: Eva Pátková
Illustrations: František Skála (just black/grey)
398 pages, 240x170x32mm, Hardcover
Text style: Red and black
Extra chapter obtained by splitting one chapter into two parts, to match Czech alphabet (there's "CH" between "H" and "I"). "I like this book, because it looks more or less as it should (as described in the book itself), and the initial letters of chapters are nicely illustrated (on separate pages). Unfortunately, this edition contains a handful of typo-errors.
A cover preview is available on many websites, but too small, so I just put my copy of the book to a scanner. I also scanned two samples of the illustrated letters, because I like them much - I'm unsure whether it's legal to publish that on web, but at least you can have a look..." Remark from Jiri Bernasek Thanx for the images and the info to Jiri B.

Bastiano è un giovane goffo, e non è quel elle si dice comunemente un "ragazzo sveglio", ma la lettura (e il termine è improprio, perché egli passerà alternativamente dal ruolo di lettore a quello di personaggio e di protagonista) di questo libro lo farà cambiare e farà cambiare la Storia stessa. Gli farà capire che il "fa' ciò che vuoi" che sta scritto sull'amuleto ricevuto in dono non significa "fa' quel che ti pare", ma esorta a seguire la volontà più profonda per trovare se stessi. Che è la strada più ardua del mon do. Il libro e Bastiano la percorreranno insieme, e il ragazzo attraverserà tutti i suoi desideri e passerà dalla goffaggine alla bellezza, alla forza, alla sapienza, al potere, fino a quando dovrà fermarsi... Moderno romanzo di formazione, storia di un'anima, folgorante scoperta dell'amore, indimenticabile avventura, ma anche lungo viaggio nell'immaginario e itinerario nell' arte e nella mitologia, ha storia infinita è uno dei grandi libri per tutti del nostro tempo che ha conquistato, avvinto e incantato generazioni di lettori.
