Sophie, a girl of 14 years old, came home from school one day and received a mysterious letter-"Who are you? Where did the world come from? " At the same time, she received a strange postcard, which read "Please give it to Hilde from Sophie" and the postmark came from Lebanon.
From this day on, Sophie kept receiving some very unusual letters, and the world unfolded before her eyes like a mystery. She tried to use the girl's natural understanding and acquired knowledge to solve these mysteries.
However, the magic mirror, the major's cabin, the Lebanese postcard to Sid, the talking hamish, Abbott who called her Sid, the banana peel with birthday wishes, the golden cross in the dream that appeared in reality, and the found 10 yuan coin ... The following anecdotes made Sophie go on step by step. The fact is far more bizarre than she thought. ...
Under the guidance of mysterious tutor Albert, Sophie began to think about the fundamental problems that the masters thought from ancient Greece to Kant, from Kierkegaard to Freud.
The inexplicable correspondence continued, and the contact information was changed again and again. The painful and angry Alberto Knox finally appeared in front of her and began to teach her the history of philosophy. He brought Sophie back to the philosophical development from Greece in the former Soviet Union to the era of Jean-Paul Saud with easy-to-understand brushstrokes.
At the same time, the name "Sid" keeps appearing frequently around her in an incredible way. Then, Sid appeared. It turns out that Sophie is just a fictional character created by Norwegian major Albert who works in the United Nations Force in Lebanon for his daughter Sid's birthday. She wrote her story into a philosophical story as a birthday present for her daughter.
Incredibly, at Abbott's prompt, Sophie gradually realized that she was just a character in the book and a part of Major Abbott's consciousness. After faithfully fulfilling their protagonist's task, they began to fight against God (Major Albert).
With their efforts, the world in the book gradually twisted and became eccentric and uncontrollable. In the end, the book ends with an open ending, and Abbott and Sophie inexplicably escape from the world of books and come to the world where Sid lives.
