Momo oder Die seltsame Geschichte von den Zeit-Dieben is a fantasy novel about time and how modern societies consume it. A grey corporation persuades everyone to hoard their hours, and in doing so strips the warmth from daily life. Against this stands Momo, a young orphan girl whose only gift is the rare ability to truly listen. If this story resonates, you are drawn to narratives where a gentle outsider holds the line against cold, efficient forces, and where imagination and human connection outlast them.

Frequently asked
What should I read after Momo?
If you want another orphan hero defending imagination against a cold adult world, Mio, min Mio is a close fit. For hidden worlds with a darker edge, The Spiderwick Chronicles delivers creature-filled secrets discovered in an old family house.
What films are like Momo?
The 1986 film Momo adapts the same novel directly and is the most faithful companion. The NeverEnding Story is by the same author, Michael Ende, and shares the same anxiety about a beloved world being erased by an encroaching force.
What makes Momo so enduring?
The novel treats time not as a commodity but as the substance of human warmth — a precise response to how modern societies consume it. Momo's only power is genuine attention, which makes the book feel quietly radical decades after its 1973 publication.
