'Remarkable ... an extraordinary achievement' SUNDAY TIMES

When 14-year-old Sophie encounters a mysterious mentor who introduces her to
philosophy, mysteries deepen in her own life. Why does she keep getting
postcards addressed to another girl? Who is the other girl? And who, for that
matter, is Sophie herself? To solve the riddle, she uses her new knowledge of
philosophy, but the truth is far stranger than she could have imagined.

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller, SOPHIE'S WORLD sets out to draw teenagers
into the world of Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel and all the great
philosophers. A brilliantly original and fascinating story with many twists
and turns, it raises profound questions about the meaning of life and the
origin of the universe.
