ABOUT THE EVENT
Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet virtually on Tuesday, March 30 at 7:30 PM. The group will discuss Sophie’s World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder, translated by Paulette Moller. Four-year-old Sophie Amundsen arrives home to find two notes in her mailbox–each with one question: “Who are you?’ and “Where does the world come from?’ 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? Why is her mail turning up? Unraveling this riddle, Sophie uses the philosophy she learns and finds the truth unimaginably complicated.
