«El misterio del solitario» is the novel by Jostein Gaarder, published by Siruela in paperback (380 pages, in Spanish).
Hans Thomas, a twelve-year-old Norwegian boy, travels with his father to Athens to reunite with his mother. In a village he receives a bun with a tiny book inside and, thanks to a magnifying glass given to him by a dwarf, he learns the story of Frode, a castaway who brought a deck of cards to life to overcome loneliness. The reading leads him to wonder whether we can decide our own destiny.
Originally published in 1990 under the title «Kabalmysteriet», in a translation by Kirsti Baggethun and Asunción Lorenzo.
