It is a page-turning science fiction adventure as well as a history of Western philosophy--from the discourses of ancient Greece to debates about the Big Bang. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe games begin when fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen finds two notes in her mailbox. One note asks, \"Who are you?\" The other asks, \"Where does the world come from?\" From here, with the aid of a devoted but mysterious instructor, Sophie sets off on a fantastic philosophical saga that will take her far beyond her small Norwegian hometown. Letters give way to lectures, questions give way to quests, and the dimensions of Sophie's world (as well as our own) grow ever wider, deeper, and richer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJostein Gaarder\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Oslo, Norway, in 1952.
