The Solitaire Mystery

Jostein Gaarder
The Solitaire Mystery.
London, 1997, Phoenix.

By the same author as Sophie's World, but very different. A Danish boy (whose father collects jokers from packs of playing cards) crosses Europe in search of his mother (who ran away to be a model in Italy). On the way, he reads a microscopically small travelogue of a philosophical journey (which he finds baked inside a pastry).
