While shovelling through some of the detritus of a short visit to
Germany I made in June, I came across a copy of the magazine "Der
Spiegel" (dated 11 June) which I had bought but never finished
reading. Towards the back of the magazine, I came across a list of
that week's top-selling works of fiction. And the top three were:
(1) Michael Ende, "Die unendliche Geschichte"
("The NeverEnding Story")
(2) Michael Ende, "Momo"
(3) Michael Ende, "Der Spiegel im Spiegel"
("The Mirror in the Mirror")
Not bad for a book that's been out for almost five years, and was the
topseller for three of those years. And "Momo" has been out almost
eleven years! (BTW, number four was Eco's "The Name of the Rose.")
I haven't heard anything about "Der Spiegel im Spiegel," however. Is
this a new work?

PS. Vielleicht wurde schon "Der Spiegel im Spiegel" im "Spiegel"
diskutiert? :-)
