Poco antes de cumplir los quince anos, la joven Sofia recibe una misteriosa carta anonima con las siguientes preguntas: 'Quien eres?', 'De donde viene el mundo?'. Este es el punto de partida de una apasionada expedicion a traves de la historia de la filosofia con un enigmatico filosofo. A lo largo de la novela, Sofia ira desarrollando su identidad a medida que va ampliando su pensamiento a traves de estas ensenanzas: porque la Verdad es mucho mas interesante y mas compleja de lo que podria haber imaginado en un principio. El mundo de Sofia no es solo una novela de misterio, tambien es la primera novela hasta el momento que presenta una completa - y entretenida - historia de la filosofia desde sus inicios hasta nuestros dias. 'Un nuevo y sorprendente exito literario, el mas importante desde el misterio monastico erudito de Umberto Eco con El nombre de la rosa.' Der Spiegel 'Queria Jostein Gaarder escribir una novela para jovenes que buscan el sentido de la vida, sin embargo ahora El mundo de Sofia es un libro de culto para adultos.' Stern

'My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought I'd hear from him again, but now we're writing a book together' To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, 'The Orange Girl'. But 'The Orange Girl' is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centres around an incident in his father's youth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivated by a beautiful girl standing in the aisle, clutching a huge paper bag of luscious-looking oranges. Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.
