A picture book with fundamental philosophical questions, posed in a way only Jostein Gaarder is capable of. The illustrator has made an independent visual narrative that underscores the existential aspect of Gaarder's philosophical questions.
Questions Asked shows confidence in a child's capacity to think deeply and read between the lines. The book follows a little boy travelling alone in an open landscape. Soon we realise he is on a journey of thoughts and dreams, asking questions about loss, myth, language, magic and what it means to be a human being. Jostein Gaarder's philosophical questions merge with the beautiful illustrations of Akin Duzakin into a tale of friendship, love, and grief - and about daring to think about life as you live it.
