«El món de Sofia» is the novel introducing philosophy by Jostein Gaarder, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (510 pages, in Catalan).
Sofía, a teenager, receives anonymous letters with philosophical questions that take her through the history of Western thought, from the pre-Socratics to Sartre, with figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Marx or Freud. The novel combines philosophical popularization with an intrigue about Sofía's identity and the meaning of life.
