About the Book: Sofie’s World
Sofie’s World is a story about a 14-year-old girl named Sofie Amundsen who starts getting strange letters in her mailbox. These letters ask deep questions like:
•
Who are you?
•
Where did the world come from?
Sofie becomes curious and wants to find the answers. Soon, she meets a mysterious teacher named Alberto Knox who helps her learn about the world’s greatest thinkers — people like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Freud.
Through their lessons, Sofie learns the history of philosophy — which means she learns how people have thought about life, truth, and the universe for thousands of years.
But as she learns more, something strange starts to happen: she begins to wonder if she is even real, or just part of a story someone else is writing.
