"Pippi," said Annika one day when they were eating pancakes in Villa Villekulla's pleasant kitchen, "Everyone knows you're the strongest person in the world. But who's next
strongest?" "Starke Adolf," said Pippi at once. "Remember I wrestled him to the ground at the fair and won a hundred kronor?" "Oh yes!" said Tommy. "Of course. And who's third?" "Ah," said Pippi. "I'm glad you asked me that question. It's my old friend Lukas the Engine-Driver, and now I think I need to go visit him again." "Where "Starke Adolf," said Pippi at once. "Remember I wrestled him to the ground at the fair and won a hundred kronor?" "Oh yes!" said Tommy. "Of course. And who's third?" "Ah," said Pippi. "I'm glad you asked me that question. It's my old friend Lukas the Engine-Driver, and now I think I need to go visit him again." "Where does he live?" asked Annika. "He lives in
Lummerland," said Pippi. "Lummerland is the smallest country in the world. It's a little island and there's only room for four people. There's the King, and Herr Ärmel, and Frau Waas, and Lukas. And his engine. She is called Emma, and she is brave and loyal but not very smart. Engines never are you know." "And he's really the third strongest person in the world?" asked Tommy. "He certainly is!" said Pippi. "He can twist an iron bar into a knot with his bare hands and he is amazingly
good at spitting. He can spit even better than I can. He can spit out a lighted match at twenty paces and make his spit do a loop on the way." "But that's impossible," said Tommy. "I mean how--" "Impossible for you," said Pippi. "Impossible for me. Even impossible for my father, Captain Långstrump, who is the spitting champion of the whole of the South Seas. But not impossible for Lukas the Engine-Driver. He has a special secret trick." Tommy was about to ask another question, but Annika, who thought spitting was disgusting, interrupted him. "You said Lummerland was only big enough for four people," she said. "That's right," said Pippi. "Just enough for four people. And Emma. And the King's castle, and Frau Waas's shop, and two mountains and a railway line. And a tiny bit over." "But what would happen if someone had a baby?" asked Annika. "That is exactly what happened," said Pippi. "One day, a packet arrived at Lummerland. They opened it up and there was a baby boy inside. A black baby boy." "But babies don't come in packets," said Annika. "This one did," said Pippi. "And anyway, how could he breathe?" asked Tommy. "They had made air-holes in the packet," said Pippi. "But when Lukas saw it, he got so mad. He said, 'If I ever find who put this poor baby in a packet and sent him here, his life won't be worth a plugged nickle'. He got so mad the baby started crying and he had to calm down". "What did they do with the baby?" asked Annika. She loved babies, and she already felt sorry for him. "Frau Waas adopted him," said Pippi. "And Lukas was his best friend. They called him Jim. And when Jim was small, that was fine. Like I said, there was just a little space left over. But he started getting bigger and then the King got more and more worried. Because there wasn't enough room for another grown-up person." "So what happened?" asked Annika. "Well," said Pippi, "first the King said Emma had to leave Lummerland. But Lukas couldn't let that happen, because Emma was his engine, and what's an engine-driver without an engine? So he told Jim that he and Emma would leave together. But Jim was Lukas's best friend, and he said that then he was leaving too. So that night they all left together. They sailed away in Emma and had so many adventures that I could spend a week telling you about them." "You can't sail away in an engine," said Tommy. "It would sink." "You have to make them watertight," said Pippi. "Then they float. Lukas knows how to do it." "Pippi," said Annika. "Is all this really true?" "Cross my heart!" said Pippi. "I just remembered that my friend Michael Ende wrote down the whole story in a book. I told him it was such a good story he had to do that and he did. Michael is the best writer in the world." "Do you have this book?" asked Annika suspiciously. "Course I do!" said Pippi. "It's in my old steamer trunk. Here, I'll get it for you." She flung open the trunk and began to toss out the things she found in it. There were all sorts of interesting objects - gold coins, old pistols, stuffed parrots, maps of strange places Annika had never heard of - but no book. "Pippi," said Annika. "Admit it. You've been lying again." "I have not!" said Pippi. "Look! Here it is!" She pulled out a large book. There was a picture of two people on the cover, a man with a dark brown face and a boy with a coal-black face. They were both smoking pipes and grinning from ear to ear. The title of the book was Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer. "There!" said Pippi triumphantly. "Now do you believe me?" ...more

Published in 1960, it became one of the most successful German children's books in the postwar era after having first been rejected by a dozen publishers.

Published in 1960, it became one of the most successful German children's books in the postwar era after having first been rejected by a dozen publishers. The story begins on a tiny island called Morrowland (original German: Lummerland, a play on Nimmerland [de], the German translation of Neverland), which has just enough space for a small
palace, a train station and rails all around the island, a grocery store, a small house, a king, two subjects, a locomotive named Emma, and a locomotive engineer by the name of Luke (Lukas) (who, as railway civil servant, is not a subject). One day, the postman – who has to come by ship – drops off a package with a nearly illegible address for a Mrs. Krintuuth at Zorroulend. On the back was a large 13. After a futile search for the addressee among Morrowland's few inhabitants, they open the
package. To their immense surprise, there's a black baby inside. After the commotion has died down, the baby is adopted by the islanders and is named Jim Button. As Jim grows up, the King begins to worry that the island is too small and there won't be enough space for Jim to live on once he's an adult. He announces to Luke that Emma has to be removed. Luke, upset about this decision, decides to leave the island with Emma, and Jim (who had accidentally overheard Luke relating his woes to
Emma) decides to come along. They convert Emma into a makeshift ship and sail off the island in the night, eventually arriving at the coast of Mandala (a fictional country inspired by China). When they arrive in Ping, the capital, they win the friendship of a tiny great-grandchild named Ping Pong, who tells them the Emperor is in mourning. His daughter, Li Si (a pun on the German variant of Lizzy), has been kidnapped and is being held in the Dragon City.[3] Luke and Jim offer their help,
and while investigating the circumstances of Li Si's disappearance, they stumble upon several names which are directly connected to Jim's mysterious arrival on Morrowland: Mrs. Grindtooth (Frau Mahlzahn), the Wild 13, and Sorrowland (Kummerland). Now Jim and Luke have another reason to go to the Dragon City, located in Sorrowland, and confront Mrs. Grindtooth. تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ششم ماه سپتامبر سال 1998میلادی عنوان: جیم دگمه؛ نویسنده: میشائیل (میشل) انده؛ تصویرگر راینهارد میخل؛

Everyone who has read this delightful book will surely remember Tur Tur, the Scheinriese. He is cursed with the strange and wonderful gift that perspective works on him backwards: so

He is cursed with the
strange and wonderful gift that perspective works on him backwards: so when he is close by he looks small, but as he moves further away he looks larger. At a distance, he appears to be a terrifying giant. Of all the impossible things in Jim Knopf, this always struck me as the most impossible, so I was very surprised today, when reading Mukhan0v's Physical Foundations of Cosmology, to learn that the concept of the Scheinriese is not only logically consistent, it happens in
our own universe. As Mukhanov explains, the phenomenon is absolutely real, but we don't notice it because it only happens over extremely long distances. Close by, perspective works the way we're used to and distant objects are smaller. But this only applies up to redshift z = 5/4, which according to UCLA's CosmoCalc is about 3900 megaparsecs away. After this point, objects start
looking larger as the distance increases. I realised that I had known this all along but just hadn't made the necessary connections. The patterns in the Cosmic Background Radiation, created when the universe was very small indeed, cover the whole sky: they look huge precisely because they're so distant. Well. Maybe steam locomotives can talk, and I never noticed that either? It would certainly be less surprising.

Back then I was so enchanted by the story, it was colorful and magical! But now that I'm reading it as an adult, the magic is lost. I can't help but cringe at the stereotypical depictions of non-white
people in this book. The ending was incredibly absurd. However, the one thing that I did enjoy was the character of Herr Tür Tür who lives in the desert. In German, he is described as a "Scheinriese." From afar he appears like a giant, but the closer you walk towards him, the more he takes on his normal height and shape. For many years, people feared Herr Tür Tür, thinking that he was a gruesome giant, when in fact he was harmless and desperately craving for human connection. Jim and Lukas
were the first people to talk to him since his parents died. In Goodreads, Michael Ende's biography includes this sentence: "The reader is often invited to take a more interactive role in the story, and the worlds in his books often mirror our reality, using fantasy to bring light to the problems of an increasingly technological modern society." Can't help but think that Herr Tür Tür was a symbol for the alienation and isolation felt by people despite the technological progress made.

This poor Scheinriese was hiding away in a deserted place, as he was also very kind and did not want to frighten people. Lukas was brave enough to look at his expression, rather than the frighful size, and thus got close enough to learn the truth. I feel it's a real shame Ende and his quirky worldview is not nearly as well known in the English speaking world. Japan on the other hand knows him well! ...more
Not gonna lie, a bit disappointed. I actually liked the cool little pieces of information and small science facts through out the story but overall the story had a really weird turn. But if you ignore these, good story
This is one of those masterpieces of literature for children, which brings a lot of fun and light to their parents as well (Tove Jansen maybe closest example). Imaginery world is mixed and shaken here with the real one, with a little touch of satire and lot of humor. You always know where real China ends and imaginary one starts, but you hardly notice how it happens.
Not a bad book but maybe when you`re a kid you`ll enjoy it much more than when you`re an adult reader. Still, we have a lot of good
things happening... Loved the illustrations and yes, the romanian version looks great. Still, we have a lot of good things happening... Loved the illustrations and yes, the romanian version looks great.
3.5 stars. I fondly remember the anime series I watched as a child. I believe the book is also great for children, yet I did not like it that much as an adult. It was enjoyable and sweet enough but not quite
fetching.
Wonderful children´s book for young and old alike.
I can only say it was fun!
It is mostly nostalgia that makes me give this book such a high rating - the duology was a companion of my kindergarten and primary school years, alongside other classics such as Astrid
Lindgren's works, and more modern stories like Warrior Cats or the Magic Treehouse series.
This was the first book I'd read in German in many years, and I found the language level to be just about perfect for me - I'd look up a word here or there, but for the most part I either knew the words or could figure them
out from context without a struggle, so I was able to just read along. That in itself was enjoyable for me. The story itself was also amusing, but definitely not something that would be published today. The roles of women within the story are few and extremely traditional. A p The story itself was also amusing, but definitely not something that would be published today. The roles of women within the story are few and extremely traditional. A princess is seen as a prize to be won by brave male heroes. The book also deals with a large number of racial stereotypes. Although no race is portrayed negatively,
each race follows stereotypical norms, and of course Jim Knopf is portrayed in all of the illustrations like a character from a minstrel show, and the fact that he is the lone stubbornly illiterate character is also somewhat disturbing (although I am thinking this might change in the sequel?) So, I enjoyed reading this book, but I would not recommend it to children. There are so many wonderful newer books out there that don't include these stereotypical depictions, there simply isn't any
reason for kids to read this one.
the books of ende are places to be. neverending story is best as an example. in momo you find the protagonist having a strong imagination like ende has. but these places are always threatend by forces to overcome. jim knopf is on a
quest against a dragon in dragoncity. but unlike the original he is not killing the dragon but making it golden. sort of gandhi inspired i quess. this is not the most mature work of ende but the most pure. here i can imagine him telling a story to children not knowing the books of ende are places to be. neverending story is best as an example. in momo you find the protagonist having a strong imagination like ende has. but these places are always

he wrote this one with a special kid on his mind.

Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer is a book written in German by Michael Ende for 10-12-year-olds. From here starts a long sea voyage and a series of adventures, where they discover new lands, encounter strange creatures, and even rescue a princess. Their most significant achievement is capturing Frau Mahlzahn, a
dragon that had captured the princess. Frau Mahlzahn would later transform into the Goldenen Drachen der Weisheit(Golden Dragon of Wisdom), who eventually guides them on their adventures in the 2nd book in the series 'Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13'. The book is full of vivid images which are totally out of the world. Children might find it interesting as it takes them to another world where creatures never seen or heard of exist and the unimaginable is possible. Michael Ende vividly describes
the scenes and the adventures and takes the reader on this fantastic journey with Jim and Lukas. An interesting read indeed.
The two books about the adventures of Jim Knopf and his fatherly friend Lukas are perhaps the favorite books of my childhood, and certainly among the ones that have most inspired my life. Jim and Lukas, very different from
each other and at the same time so similar, embark on an epic adventure with the big-hearted locomotive Emma. The journey leads them to several fantastic countries, and literally to the 'end of the world'.

The journey leads them to several fantastic countries, and literally to the 'end of the world'. They make friends with many diverse creatures that at first sight seem threatening, but turn out to be lovely, helpful and all of them with their own little sorrows and problems. The books therefore teach us to not judge people based on
their physical appearance, but to engage in curiosity and attempt to get to know them closer. Above all we learn that everyone has a weak side and even the seemingly most dangerous creature may be hiding a big heart behind their facade. We learn to be curious, open, and patient. I was lucky enough to have a father that would read me these stories from very young age until I could read them myself. Perhaps they were even the first books I ever read alone. Jim Knopf was my first hero, who after
a difficult start to his life gained the hearts of everyone through courage, a strong sense of justice, and his unbending will to find out the truth.

Considering Jim Knopf was published in 1960, it was well ahead of it's time and I am grateful to Michael Ende for the awesomeness that is Jim Knopf. I also love
Ende's simple twists that become so fantastical. Locomotives can have babies, appearances aren't what they seem and dragons have dirt baths and are pure evil because their potential, after being defeated, is something immeasurably good. The universe Ende created is easy to slip into and lose oneself in. Even as an adult, I find it enchanting. I look forward to revisiting it once more when my children are old enough.
This is a great children's book! Full of adventure and wonder, friendship, a little bit of romance, pirates and dragons, and a train that can double as a ship. Many scenes
of this book, which I read so many years ago, still stick with me, like the echo mountains and the cute little society of Lummerland. The Norwegian translation is interesting because you can tell that it has been translated from German instead of, say, English, in the use of expressions, words, etc. The Norwegian translation is interesting because you can tell that it has been translated from German instead of, say, English, in the use of expressions, words, etc.
Children’s books don’t need to be without political content. Michael Ende aimed his first book Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver at grown-ups as much as children. Over 50

This was one of my favourite storys when I was a kid by far. My mom had to read it to me
eight times in a row before I finally learned to read and could read it myself. I rember laughing and crying over that book and its wonderful characters.
A wonderful story, for young readers ostensibly, but Ende has, as always, put together the German language masterfully, and painted a picture of a world so vivid in its imagination, so full of surprises, so believable yet so absurd that it's hard to even think about putting down the book for the sheer delight of it all. What blessing that there's a sequel.

Read this (while translating simultaneously) to my children. Such a fun and yet thoughtful book! A classic.
My all time prefered childhood book :) Michael Andreas Helmuth Ende was a German writer of
fantasy and children's literature. He was the son of the surrealist painter Edgar Ende. Ende was one of the most popular and famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's books. However, Ende was not strictly a children’s author, as he also wrote books for adults. Ende claimed, "It is for this chil Ende was one of the most popular and famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's books. However, Ende was not strictly a children’s author, as he also wrote books for adults. Ende claimed, "It is for this child in me, and in all of us, that I tell my stories," and that "[my books are] for any child between 80 and 8 years" (qtd. Senick 95, 97). Ende’s writing could be described as a surreal mixture of
reality and fantasy. The reader is often invited to take a more interactive role in the story, and the worlds in his books often mirror our reality, using fantasy to bring light to the problems of an increasingly technological modern society. Ende was also known as a proponent of economic reform, and claimed to have had the concept of aging money in mind when writing Momo. He was interested in and influenced by anthroposophy. Die unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending
Story) is Ende's best known work. Other books include Momo and Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver). Michael Ende's works have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 20 million copies, and have been adapted into motion pictures, stage plays, operas and audio books. He died in Stuttgart of stomach cancer.
