This epic work of the imagination has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide since it was first published more than a decade ago. Its special story within a story is an irresistible invitation for readers to become part of the book itself. And now this modern classic and bibliophile's dream is available in hardcover again.

The story begins with a lonely boy named Bastian and the strange book that draws him into the beautiful but doomed world of Fantastica. Only a human can save this enchanted place by giving its ruler, the Childlike Empress, a new name. But the journey to her tower leads through lands of dragons, giants, monsters, and magic and once Bastian begins his quest, he may never return. As he is drawn deeper into Fantastica, he must find the courage to face unspeakable foes and the mysteries of his own heart.

Readers, too, can travel to the wondrous, unforgettable world of Fantastica if they will just turn the page...

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.
