Den uendelige historie - er dette eventyr profetisk? THE NEVER-ENDING STORY - IS THIS ADVENTURE PROPHETIC?
Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi
Den uendelige historie er en bog fra 1979 af den tyske forfatter Michael Ende.
Handling
Det er en fantastisk fortælling om drengen Bastian, der stjæler en mystisk bog fra en gammel mand i et gammelt antikvariat. I bogen følger Bastian drengen Atreyus rejse gennem Fantásien. Efterhånden lægger Bastian mærke til, at bogen tilsyneladende er bevidst om hans eksistens. På et tidspunkt opsluges han selv i bogens historie og bliver dermed for en tid en del af Fantasien.
Analyse
Den uendelige historie er mere end blot et langt eventyr; den er en roman, der beskæftiger sig med det vigtige i at bibeholde en sund balance mellem fantasi og virkelighed. Bastian er en dreng med et umådeligt overskud af fantasi. Den virkelighed, han lever i, er ikke en, man kan misunde ham, så han benytter enhver lejlighed til at flygte fra den. Hans fader er efter moderens død meget nedtrykt, hvilket naturligvis ikke gør hverdagen lettere for Bastian, der også selv savner hende. Dertil er han skolekammeraternes mobbeoffer nr. 1, dels pga. af sin fysiske fremtoning (tyk og med briller) og dels pga. at han aldrig tør forsvare sig. Bastian opfatter, forståeligt nok, ikke hverdagen som særligt interessant, da hans virkelighed er meget trist og de mennesker, han omgives af, mangler den fantasi, han selv besidder i så umådeligt et overskud. Af samme grund har eventyrverdenen `Fantasien´ alvorlige problemer, idet den er ved at forsvinde grundet menneskenes ringe mængder af fantasi. Som et insekt tiltrækkes af lyset opsøger `Den uendelige historie´ Bastian for at dræne ham for den fantasi, der er så alvorlig mangel på.

The Neverending Story is a 1979 book by German author Michael Ende.
ACTION
It is a fantastic tale about the boy Bastian who steals a mysterious book from an old man in an old antique shop. In the book, Bastian follows the boy Atreyu's journey through Fantasia. Gradually, Bastian notices that the book is apparently aware of his existence. At some point, he himself is swallowed up in the book's story and thus becomes part of the Fantasy for a time.
ANALYSIS
The Neverending Story is more than just a long adventure; it is a novel that deals with the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between fantasy and reality. Bastian is a boy with an immeasurable excess of imagination. The reality he lives in is not one to be envied, so he takes every opportunity to escape from it. His father is very depressed after his mother's death, which of course does not make everyday life easier for Bastian, who also misses her. In addition, he is the number 1 victim of bullying by his schoolmates, partly because of his physical appearance (fat and with glasses) and partly because he never dares to defend himself. Bastian, understandably, does not perceive everyday life as particularly interesting, as his reality is very sad and the people he is surrounded by lack the imagination that he himself possesses in such immeasurable excess. For the same reason, the fairy tale world ``Fantasy'' has serious problems, as it is disappearing due to people's low amounts of imagination. Like an insect attracted to the light, ``The Neverending Story'' seeks out Bastian to drain him of the imagination that is so sorely lacking.
