* The full title of [[Michael Ende]]'s novel ''[[Momo]]'', in the original German, is ''MOMO oder Die seltsame Geschichte von den Zeit-Dieben und von dem Kind, das den Menschen die gestohlene Zeit zurückbrachte'' (''Momo, or the Strange Story of the Time-Thieves and of the Child Who Brought Back the Stolen Time to Humanity'').
** Not quite as long, but with something of a record for the longest word in a book title: ''Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch'', translated into English as ''[[The Night of Wishes (Literature)|The Night of Wishes: or, The Satanarchaeolidealcohellish Notion Potion]]''.

* ''[[Slaughterhouse Five|Slaughterhouse-five]], or, The children's crusade : a duty-dance with death by [[Kurt Vonnegut]], a fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod (and smoking too much), who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, "The Florence of the Elbe," a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale.

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Darger Henry Darger] (1892-1973) was a reclusive artist who'd been brought up in an institution for the "feeble-minded." Upon his death in 1973, his apartment was being cleared out. Among all the clutter, there was found Darger's lifework; diaries, scrapbooks, and a manuscript, fifty years in the making, 15,145 pages long, with hundreds of illustrations. The title was ''The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion''.
