Michael Ende

He was born in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Bavaria, Germany), son of the surrealist painter Edgar Ende. He died in Stuttgart (Germany) of stomach cancer. While he is best known for his work Die Unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending Story), his other books include Momo and Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivfhrer. He is one of the most popular and most famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's books, which invite the reader into foreign worlds full of visionary symbolic power and enable them to identify with the heroes of the story. Michael Ende's works have been translated into more than 40 languages and more than 20 million copies of his works have been sold.
