Description: THE NEVERENDING STORY (DIE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE) By Michael Ende EARLY GERMAN EDITION SIGNED Published by Theineman, Germany, 1979. Early impression based on the first German edition, and true first, of Ende's seminal work. Very rare signed! This copy, signed and inscribed by the author on the title page: "Michael Ende/ 21.1.1985" Copies of this work are extremely rare, partly due to Ende's reclusive nature at this point in his career. Ende left Germany to live in Italy in the later part of his career, partly to get away from the attention this book brought him. The English edition of this work, retitled: THE NEVERENDING STORY, was later made into a popular movie with several sequels, although Ende was not particularly pleased with the adaption. This edition set the standard for the multi-coloured script used in the English and American editions. Condition: This copy FINE in FINE jacket. Inscription clean and clear on the title page. Comparisons: The most recent copy of an inscribed copy in this format sold for $6000.00 US in 2022. An opportunity to purchase an inscribed copy of Ende's most well-known book in the original German.
