«O Mundo de Sofia» is the philosophical novel by Jostein Gaarder, published by Editorial Presença in paperback, in Portuguese.
Sofia, a fourteen-year-old girl, receives anonymous letters with questions like «Who are you?» and «Where does the world come from?». A philosophy professor accompanies her through the history of Western thought, with its myths and legends and brief forays into Eastern philosophies, while the narrative itself becomes an enigma.
«O Mundo de Sofia» was originally published in 1991 as «Sofies verden»; the Portuguese translation is by Catarina Belo.
It is aimed at young people and adults curious about philosophy who want to approach it through a novel.
