| Description: |
By Norweigian author, Jostein Gaarder, this story is about a young girl, Sophie, who becomes embroiled in a discussion of philosophy with a faceless correspondent. At the same time, she must unravel a mystery involving another young girl, Hilde, by using everything she's learning. The truth is far more complicated than she could ever have imagined. This unique book combines a comprehensive history of Western philosophy with compelling mystery, experienced through the life and learning of a 14-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl. |
