The Neverending Story by Michael Ende Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim Illustrated by Roswitha Quadflieg a.b.e-book v3.0 / See Notes at EOF Back Cover: Journey to Fantastica -- Where Dreams Become Reality Unicorns, dragons, sprites, will-o'-the-wisps: the inhabitants of an enchanted world. And into this world -- through the pages of an old book -- ventures Bastian, a lonely boy of ten or twelve. But Fantastica is slowly decaying, its Childlike Empress dying. Only a real human being can set things right by giving the Empress a new name. Bastian takes up the challenge, and finds himself crossing the Swamps of Sadness and the Silver Mountains, meeting sorcerers and giants, bats and night-hobs, gnomes and racing snails, as he journeys bravely toward the Ivory Tower. Bastian's quest is filled with all the wonders of myth and fairy tale. It is a fantasy adventure that will capture your heart - - and recapture the magical dreams of childhood.

Anthropomorphic Imagery of Animals (Dragons and Horses) in the Works of Michael Ende and C.S
Degree on English Studies 2016-2017 Anthropomorphic Imagery of Animals (Dragons and Horses) in the Works of Michael Ende and C.S. Lewis. Ágata C. Teixeira Salgado Supervisor: Cristina Jarillot Rodal Department of English and German Philology Abstract For several centuries, anthropomorphism has been a common feature used in fantastic literature; our interest in giving animals and objects human traits – clothing them, making them talk – has influenced the arts. Hence, animals have been typically used to perpetuate morals and humour the readers. Moreover, anthropomorphism’s role in children’s literature has made possible to call for its readers’ attention to grown-up matters allowing them to maintain a certain distance and explore the concerns at hand without getting too involved. Bearing that in mind, the purpose of this study is to explore the role of two kinds of anthropomorphic animals, fantastic and real, to see how these animals intervene in the quest and learnings of the heroes and to understand what lessons they might convey to the readers. In order to do so, the following dissertation will contrast and examine two dragons and two horses from three novels; Artax and Falkor from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende and Bree and Eustace from C.S. Lewis’ collection The Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Subsequently, the scrutiny of the relationship between animals and heroes – observing how it develops and affects either the quest, the hero or both - will show that dragons and horses equally serve their masters/friends, function as a guiding voice of reason and encouragement and are incredibly loyal.

There were towering palaces inhabited by kings and emperors; there were broad streets, narrow alleyways and winding lanes; there were sumptuous temples filled with idols of gold and marble; there were busy markets selling wares from all over the world; and there were handsome, spacious squares where people gathered to discuss the latest news and make speeches or listen to them. Last but not least, there were theatres - or, more properly, amphitheatres. An amphitheater resembled a modern circus, except that it was built entirely of stone. Seats for spectators were arranged in tiers, one above the other, like steps lining the crater of a man-made volcano.
