abstract:Sophie's World (Norwegian: Sofies verden) is a 1991 novel written by Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder. It follows the events of Sophie Amundsen, a teenage girl living in Norway, and Alberto Knox, a middle aged philosopher who introduces her to philosophical thinking and the history of philosophy.
It was left to rival papers to reveal what Sophie had allegedly said to the News of the World's reporter and Wade's paper had to play embarrassing catch-up a week later.
