Sophie's World is unlike any book you have ever read. At once a highly original novel of suspense, a spiritual search for self-knowledge, and a probing philosophical inquiry, it recounts the unusual story of Sophie, a young woman whose life is utterly changed by two simple questions she receives in her mail: Who are you? and Where does the world come from? Thus begins a mysterious correspondence that takes Sophie on a philosophical voyage from Socrates to Sartre, and beyond... Enthusiastically praised by critics, Sophie's World is a wondrous journey of intellect and imagination that will make you look at life through the eyes of a child again.
