Buenas noches/Good Night
Too much time without posting, reason: Panamanian Carnival, plus I've been in a place where there wasn't even signal for calling. Anyway ... back to the subject, today I decided to do a reading time of:
Tengo demasiado tiempo sin publicar, motivo: Carnavales panameños, además de que he estado en un lugar donde ni siquiera tenia señal para llamar. Pero bueno... Regresando al tema, hoy he decidido hacer un reading time sobre:
El Mundo de Sofia/ Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
As you know, I do not want to spoil the book, so here I leave you the synopsis:
A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Sophie’s World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print.
One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: “Who are you?” and “Where does the world come from?” From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined

Como saben no me gusta spoilearles el libro, así que, aquí les dejo la sinopsis
Esta extraordinaria obra de divulgación que se ha convertido ya en una obra de culto aporta una coherente visión en conjunto sobre aquellos aspectos imprescindibles para comprender la historia de la filosofía occidental. El mundo de Sofía tiene el mérito de haber conjugado, acertadamente, rigor y amenidad en una narración donde una joven irá conociendo su propia identidad mientras descubre la capacidad humana de hacer preguntas.
"Si no sabemos en todo momento a dónde vamos, puede resultar útil saber de dónde venimos. Para manejar mi propia vida también necesito entender mis raíces en la historia. La misión de la filosofía es estimular el análisis crítico para poder ayudar en el avance de la comprensión de aquello que tiene valor y por lo cual merece la pena luchar."
Jostein Gaarder
{Seré sincera con ustedes, esta obra ha sido la merecedora del amor que le tengo a la filosofía y Grecia, razón por la que muero por ir a Grecia, además me hizo tomarle un cariño muy especial a la Historia. Y por todas estas razones, siempre la llevare en mi corazón/ I'll be honest with you, this book has been the worthy of the love I have for philosophy and Greece, for this reason, I'm dying to go to Greece, It make me also take a very special affection for history. And for all these reasons, I always take this amazing book in my heart}
