Day 15 - Favorite male character

I have many, but for now I pick:

Hans Thomas ("The Solitaire Mystery")

At a very young age, he learns to see the world from a philosophical perspective, and it's all thanks to his father. And i can relate to that. My father too taught me how to question everything, to marvel at how the universe works. He faces the challenge of keeping his father sane as they set across Europe looking for his estranged wife (and Hans's mum). Still, he also views the world through the eyes of a child.

There's a recurring theme in all of Jostein Gaarder's books, and that is, because his main characters are usually young, a child's perspective constantly points out to the world we take for granted and teaches us to see everything with wonder and hope. i feel that theme resonated with me the most when reading about hans thomas, who is a boy trying to understand an adult world and at the same time trying not lose his innocence. gaarder teaches us that just because we grow up doesn't mean that the world becomes something unimpressive, and that we should stop being amazed by it.
