THE DAY OF THE JOKER


When I used to read, I really liked the book 'The Day of The Joker'(the author Jostein Gaarder).
The book tells the story of a boy named and his father, crossing Europe from Norway to Greece in search of the woman that left eight years earlier. In the middle of the journey, a mysterious book triggers a parallel narrative, in which Greek myths, curses the family, shipwrecked and playing cards that come to life make travel to Hans-Thomas in an authentic introduction to the pursuit of knowledge - or to philosophy. The day of the Joker is the story of many fantastic journeys that intertwine in a single trip and even more fantastic - and that can only be done by a great adventurer: the reader.
