    About this audiobook

    A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print.

    One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

    Jostein Gaarder

    Jostein Gaarder (Oslo, 1952) fue profesor de Filosofía y de Historia de las Ideas en un instituto de Bergen durante diez años. En 1986 empezó a publicar libros, y en 1990 recibió el Premio de la Crítica y el Premio literario del Ministerio de Cultura noruegos por su novela El misterio del solitario (Siruela, 1995). Pero fue El mundo de Sofía (Siruela, 1994) la obra que se convirtió en un auténtico best-seller mundial e hizo de su autor una celebridad internacional. Gaarder creó la Fundación Sofía, cuyo premio anual dotó económicamente a la mejor labor innovadora a favor del medioambiente y el desarrollo.
