Sophie's World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy
Wanting to understand the most fundamental questions of the  universe isn't  the  province of ivory-tower intellectuals alone, as this book's enormous popularity has demonstrated.  A young girl, Sophie, becomes embroiled in a  discussion of philosophy with a faceless correspondent.  At the same time, she must unravel a mystery involving another young girl, Hilde, by using everything she's learning.  The truth is far more complicated than she  could ever have imagined.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
