A magically evocative story to fulfill your deepest longings...

Small, fat and insignificant, Bastian Balthazar Bux is nobody's idea of a hero, least of all his own. One day he steals a mysterious book and hides away to read it--only to find himself stepping through its pages into the world of Fantastica. Enchanted, perilous, dying, Fantastica is waiting for a Messiah, its faery people doomed, until Bastian appears as their Saviour--and in doing so saves himself.

Work Description

Ein geheimnisvolles Buch schlägt Bastian in seinen Bann: Die unendliche Geschichte. Begeistert nimmt er teil an den wilden Abenteuern ihres Helden Atréju und an dessen gefährlichen Auftrag: Das Traumreich Phantásien und seine Herrscherin, die Kindliche Kaiserin, zu retten. Mit der Zeit jedoch spürt Bastian, dass er mehr als nur ein unbeteiligter Zuschauer ist. Bis er sich unversehens selbst in Phantásien wiederfindet ...
Damit beginnt das Abenteuer seines Lebens: „Tu was du willst“ steht auf dem Symbol der uneingeschränkten Herrschaftsgewalt in Phantásien. Doch was der Satz bedeutet, merkt Bastian erst als es fast schon zu spät ist. Denn seine wahre Aufgabe ist es nicht, Phantásien zu beherrschen, sondern wieder herauszufinden. Wie aber verläßt man ein Reich, das keine Grenzen hat? Mit seinem unsterblichen Meisterwerk schrieb sich Michael Ende in die Herzen junger und junggebliebener Leser auf der ganzen Welt. Ein Märchenroman für Kinder und Erwachsene, dessen Faszination und beispielloser Erfolg bis heute ungebrochen sind.
