Sofies verden
»Engang må et eller andet da være opstået ud af det tomme intet.« I bunken med familiens post finder Sofie for en gangs skyld et brev til sig selv. Uden frimærke, uden stempel, uden afsender. »Hvem er du?« Mere står der ikke. Mærkeligt! Men det er kun begyndelsen. Snart har Sofie fået adskillige gåder at tumle med. Brevet er det første af mange. Snart modtager Sofie den ene tykke kuvert efter den anden med hvad der viser sig at være et helt grundkursus i filosofi. Brevenes indhold fylder hende med undren over verden og hendes egen eksistens, og over at hun overhovedet er til - men samtidig udspringer det ene mysterium efter det andet af denne forunderlige, ensidige korrespondance. Hvem er f.eks. Hilde Møller Knag? Sofie støder pludselig på hendes navn alle vegne - selv på sit eget værelse ... Sofies verden er både en filosofihistorie og en roman om de to piger. Men filosofiens historie og historien om Sofie hænger nøje sammen. Romanen ender i Hildes baghave - eller er det her, den

Sophie's World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy (30th Anniversary Edition)
A brand-new 30th anniversary edition of the wildly popular (over fifty million copies in print ), page-turning novel about a young girl's exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought. Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World is an exciting coming-of-age novel that thrives on its contradictions. It is a page-turning science fiction adventure as well as a history of Western philosophy--from the discourses of ancient Greece to debates about the Big Bang. The games begin when fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen finds two notes in her mailbox. One note asks, 'Who are you?' The other asks, 'Where does the world come from?' From here, with the aid of a devoted but mysterious instructor, Sophie sets off on a fantastic philosophical saga that will take her far beyond her small Norwegian hometown. Letters give way to lectures, questions give way to quests, and the dimensions of Sophie's world (as well as our own) grow ever wider, deeper, and richer.
