Description

(From the inside front cover. UK, first edition.)A literary sensation in the United States and Europe, The Neverending Story is one of the most extraordinary works of fantasy to have been written in the last ten years. Published first in Germany as a book for children, it quickly established itself with adults and children alike as a haunting work of the imagination.The power of the human imagination is indeed one of the major themes of the novel itself, a power that the leading character Bastian comes gradually to recognize. Through the pages of an old book Bastian, 'a fat little boy of ten or twelve', discovers a mysterious world of enchantment but a world that is falling slowly into decay. Only a human can make things well again, and it is Bastian himself to whom this great task falls.The Neverending Story can be read simply as a thrilling fantasy story, populated by night-hobs and will-o' the-wisps, by the Swamps of Sadness and the Silver Mountains, by the Black Centaur and the Ivory Tower. But beyond that it offers an enormously suggestive vision of the power of the human imagination - a power that every reader is invited to share with Bastian as he travels in his enchanted land.A huge international success already. The Neverending Story is a book that crosses the boundaries, whether between different cultures or between books for children and those for adults. With all its magic and mystery superbly captured in Ralph Manheim's translation, The Neverending Story stands in a fine tradition of novels, including Watership Down, the Earthsea trilogy and The Lord of the Rings, from which children and adults alike can derive enormous pleasure.
