You can really read this book at any age and appreciate it on different levels every time. On one level this is a mystical tale about a Norwegian boy and his father driving across Europe to find the boy's mother who left his father several years/months (time isn't exactly linear in this novel).Along the way, the boy is given a tiny little book hidden in a sticky bun and then a magnifying glass with which to read the book. In the book unfolds a fantastical tale about life of an island.Much more(English title: The Solitaire Mystery)Re-read this in preparation for my upcoming project on Jostein Gaarder in my last year of university!It was even better than I remember it. An amazing story full of wonder and philosophy, beautiful language and devices that will make you question the world we live in.It was also very refreshing to read something in Norwegian, as I usually read in English these days.Gaarder remains one of my all-time favourite authors and I cannot wait to properly investigate
4.5 Golden StarsI remember I love this (more than others) when I read Philosophical novels 11 years ago. & yep this one is my favourite one in philosophy novels.it was philosophy & kind of fiction. & there's sentences we should think about it seriously. it is beautiful.😍✌
I suggested a "translation theme" to my small group of GR friends for this weekend (which later turned into mystery translation), and this was the book that came to my mind. It was short to read over the weekend, a translation, and has been out under mystery category by GR members. To be honest, I thought it to be a murder mystery with a 12 year old protagonist. But once I started reading I found that I was very wrong. Once I finished reading this book, I told myself not every mystery is about
It left me with so many questions about the true nature of life and our surroundings. This book is a master piece in philosophy and a great fantasy adventure. I've loved every page of this book. Destiny is a cauliflower head which grows equally in all directions.
I must have read this book 100 times, at least. I remember reading this book as a young girl and was so fascinated by this world that Gaarder built. I looked up all the places mentioned in this book on a real map (There was no google map back then) and imagined in my little head. I still have the copy somewhere and would love to read it again. I would recommend this book to any little girl who dreams of a different world, of a different time.
