Sit back, gaze at the stars, and enjoy highlights from radio dramas: radioeins presents the best ARD radio dramas.The Neverending Story by Michael EndeLike so many good stories, this one also begins with a visit to an antique bookstore. There, the shy, imaginative, and very unhappy boy Bastian Balthasar Bux discovers the book *The Neverending Story*—a story that never ends? This must be it, the book of all books...Bastian has secretly taken the book home and begins reading it in his attic. He becomes more and more drawn into this story, which is set in the realm of dreams and fairy tales, fables, and legends. Of all people, Bastian is supposed to save Phantásien, which seems to be slowly falling apart. As sick as her realm of fantasy, the childlike Empress sits in her palace. Atréju is the name of the hero who roams the boundless land on his white dragon of good fortune, Fuchur, in search of salvation. But is it really Atréju or Bastian—or is it us?Production: BR 1981 | Director: Anke BeckertStarring: Gert Günther Hoffmann, Harald Leipnitz, Clemens Kleiber, and many othersImage © radioeinsTranslated with DeepL
