ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder introduces us to Sophie Amundsen, a young girl whose ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when she begins receiving anonymous letters posing fundamental philosophical questions. This correspondence evolves into a comprehensive and engaging journey through the history of Western philosophy, from the ancient Greeks to modern thinkers. As Sophie delves deeper into concepts like the nature of reality and existence, she also uncovers a perplexing mystery involving another girl named Hilde and peculiar occurrences that blur the lines between fiction and reality. The narrative cleverly weaves together philosophical inquiry with an unfolding enigma, prompting readers to ponder their own place in the world.
