Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition. The English translation was also published in the USA by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. The book was originally published in Norwegian as "Sofies verden" by H. Aschehoug & Co., Oslo in 1991. Translated from the Norwegian by Paulette Moller. ***Near fine in brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards are clean with just some very minor small indentations. Head and tail of spine uncreased. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. No reading creases to the spine. Spine tight. Page block edges clean without any foxing. Internally also near fine with clean pages. There is a neat ownership name in ink to the top of the title page. No creases or tears. The paper used for this production is of nice quality. ***In a near fine illustrated dustwrapper, which retains the original publisher's printed price of £16.99 net. The extremities of the dustwrapper are just very slightly rubbed. No chips, tears or creases. No fading, even to the area near the spine. ***242mm x 155mm. 403 pages including an Index (unusually for a work of fiction). ***'One day Sophie comes home from school to find two questions in her mailbox: Who are you? and Where does the world come from? "Sophie's World" is a fascinating conundrum, a novel of ideas that baffles, illuminates and delights. Woven into it, miraculously, is a complete history of Western philosophy that unravels and explores all the great mysteries of life, death, and the world around us.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'"Sophie's World" is a 1991 novel by Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder. It follows Sophie Amundsen, a Norwegian teenager, who is introduced to the history of philosophy as she is asked "Who are you?" in a letter from an unknown philosopher. The nonfictional content of the book aligns with Bertrand Russell's The History of Western Philosophy. "Sophie's World" became a best-seller in Norway and won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 1994. The English translation was published in 1995, and the book was reported to be the best-selling book in the world that year. By 2011, the novel had been translated into fifty-nine languages, with over forty million print copies sold. It is one of the most commercially successful Norwegian novels outside of Norway, and has been adapted into a film and a PC game.' (Wiki) ***First impression of the true first UK edition, in its original dustwrapper, in very nice near fine collectable condition. The book was very successful and was soon reprinted, so finding first impressions in such near fine condition is now difficult. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
