Start with Sophie’s World.
Gaarder taught philosophy in Norwegian schools; Sophie’s World began as his attempt to make the history of philosophy readable for young people.
The whole span of a friendship, measured from hello to disappearance.
Life is both sad and solemn. We are led into a wonderful world, we meet one another here, greet each other - and wander together for a brief moment. Then we lose each other and disappear as suddenly and unreasonably as we arrived. Books by Jostein Gaarder
