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.

Best book I ever read.

I first read this book as a teenager when it was assigned as a textbook of sorts in my highschool philosophy class. At that time, I found it an accessible and engaging way to learn about the history of philosophy. Revisiting it as a scholar who publishes on philosophy (specifically aesthetics), this book still gave me much to think about. This time, I was impressed by the way the book is able to demonstrate many of the philosophical ideas Sophie is learning about with Alberto in the form and content of its narrative. Sophie's World has much to offer readers of all ages interested in philosophy. Even though it is chiefly tailored to young people, it contains ample philosophical and artistic depth for adult readers, even those who are not entirely new to philosophy.

I have read this book in hard copy twice. This was my first time listening to an audio version. I thought the book worked well as an audio book. Given the female protagonists, a male reader initially struck me as an unusual choice. Nevertheless, Simon Vance did a good job of narrating the book. My only complaint is that the chapters on the Audible app did not correspond to the book's chapter numbering. I did not notice any gaps in the recording, as mentioned by another reviewer.

Clever introduction to philosophy
