The Solitaire Mystery ~ Jostein Gaarder

Publisher: Phoenix
Year: 1996 (originally published in 1990)
ISBN: 1 85799 766 6
Format: Medium paperback
Condition: Very good


A philosophical fantasy novel that intertwines two narratives. The story follows Hans-Thomas, a twelve-year-old boy traveling with his father from Norway to Greece in search of his estranged mother. Along the way, Hans-Thomas receives a tiny book hidden inside a sticky bun, which tells the tale of a shipwrecked sailor who discovers an island inhabited by living playing cards.

As Hans-Thomas reads the miniature book, he begins to notice eerie connections between its story and his own life. The novel explores themes of identity, fate, and the search for meaning, blending magical realism with deep philosophical reflections. Gaarder, known for Sophie's World, crafts a layered narrative that challenges readers to ponder existence and destiny.
