Is there any place to read the NeverEnding Story online?

Question

I read another question here which noted that Project Gutenberg had a copy of the book that one could read (for someone else's question), but that doesn't appear to be true. I've ordered the book from amazon.com, but I don't feel like waiting a week to read it. Its slightly old, and a real classic, so there has to be some sort of online resource that can slake my thirst.

Answer 1

I couldn't find this book online but you might want to call your local library because they might know how you can download it or off of what site. Also, you could check it out there. The library generally keeps the classics.

Answer 2

Yes, indeed. I consider it one of the great fantasies of the 20th century, perhaps the greatest of the past fifty years. I divide children's fantasies into four historic periods: (1) the Golden Age, esp. George MacDonald and Lewis Carroll; (2) the Silver Age, esp. E. Nesbit, Kenneth Grahame, and J. M. Barrie; (3) the Copper Age, esp. The Hobbit of J.R.R. Tolkein, Sword and the Stone and Mistress Masham's Repose of T. H. White, and the Narnia books of C.S. Lewis, and (4) the Chromium Age, of which the two best examples are Michael Ende's Neverending Story and Russell Hoban's Mouse and His Child. The Chromium Age, as you might guess, returns to the themes of the previous ages, but places them clearly in the problematic modern times. Modern children no matter what the setting of the fantasy, are often cheeky and smart-mouth; comic and satiric elements,are often written on two levels (one for children, one for their adults); children characters may be more sophisticated than some adults; genuine evil is manifest with sometimes surprising/shocking setbacks, suffering and death; the style is more cinematic, with quick cuts and unstated links, therefore it is more complex in a simplistic kind of way; dark underground and outlandish worlds are in but not of the real world; humor, toughness, good will, idealism are mingled with a certain tinge of underlying cynicism. If you liked Ende's book, be sure to find Russell Hoban's Mouse and His Child. Both books are delightful fantasies for thoughtful children but thoughtful fantasies for adults, existential translations of the modern age. Other authors more or less representative of the Chromium Age are Roald Dahl, Dianna Wynn Jones, Philip Pullman, Eva Ibbotson, Brian Jacques, Robin Jarvis, the outlander Eoin Colfer, and perhaps the YA fantasist/realist David Almond, and of course J. K. Rowling. Oh, and by the way, the first movie of Neverending Story covers only the first half of the book, and that not very well. The second movie relates only loosely to the second half of the book (in Fantastica). The third movie uses only the characters of the book; otherwise, it is unrelated. As is often the case, the movies in no sense capture the magic of the book.

Answer 4

I don't think so-- it's too new and the author is still alive so at least in the US copyright laws would apply. Project Gutenburg and Bartleby only use books that are in public domain. As Jade D. said, go to your local library and get a head start before your copy comes in!

Or check to see if your library has downloadable books-- some do-- and see if Neverending Story is among those. It IS a good book!

Answer 7

Reading the booklet instead of watching the movie is the ultimate way to see what the author designed. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can make your vocabulary
