Maya

Maya

Jostein Gaarder

The novel "Maya" by Jostein Gaarder is a philosophical story that explores the questions of the origin of life, love, death and existence.

The story begins with the meeting of the Norwegian writer John Spook and the Spanish biologist Frank Andrado in the Maldives. Frank ponders the mystery of evolution, while John writes about questions of purpose and meaning in human existence. Their conversations touch on scientific and philosophical topics, such as the theory of evolution and the question of whether life has a universal purpose.

The story includes the eccentric lady Ana, who with her views and stories introduces deeper symbolism about the connection between the past, present and future. The novel moves between the real and the metaphysical, exploring how human stories are intertwined with universal mysteries.

Through "Maya", Gaarder invites readers to think about human existence, love and the ephemerality of life in a cosmic context.
