Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"First, think a beginner's guide to philosophy . . . Next, imagine a fantasy novel--something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get? Well, what you get is an improbable international bestseller . . . [A] tour de force." --Time

"This book contains a novel mantra for those days when the world gets in your face." --Entertainment Weekly

"Extraordinary...read it for yourself." --Newsweek

"A simply wonderful, irresistible book...a cross between Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy and Alice in Wonderland." --Daily Telegraph

"Sophie's World is sheer delight. How I wish I'd had it during my college freshman survey of philosophy!" --Madeleine L'Engle

Reseña del editor:

Discovering two thought-provoking philosophical questions in her mailbox, Sophie enrolls in a correspondence course with a mysterious philosopher and begins to receive some equally unusual letters that take her on a journey of philosophical discovery ranging from Socrates to Sartre and beyond. Reprint.
