Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between pedagogy (theory and practice of education) and literary works through the interpretation of Jostein Gaarder’s novels – The Solitaire Mystery and Sophie’s World. In the introductory paragraph, we portray how the author nurtures his protagonists, emphasizing their educational and developmental elements. The central section is focused on the presentation of education and teaching, supported by a comparison of teaching Philosophy in the novel and in school practice. In the final section, based on the previously mentioned facts and factors, we present the protagonists of both novels as well-rounded personalities, guided by Goldberg’s The Big-Five Factor Structure. Although the novels are undeniably a product of imagination, it is worth exploring the extent to which the author can contribute to the education of his predominantly young readers through fictional characters.
