Bt The Orange Girl is no ordinary story it is a riddle rom
the past centering arond an incident in his athers
yoth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivatedby a beatil girl standing in the aisle, cltching a hge
paper bag o lscios-looking oranges. Sddenly the
tram gave a jolt and he stmbled orward, sending the
oranges ying in all directions.
In an ot-o-the-way bookshop Joakim comes across a

The world is very old, they say. But it seldomlasts more than a hundred years. We are theones who grow old.
With these words Gaarder sets the tone or t he collection,which was his literary debt. The stories deal with
ordinary people who have been prooted rom their dailylives and pshed to the brink . The stories toch onexistential sbjects, qestions and ideas to which the
athor retrns in sbseqent novels.
The collection comprises eleven short stories.They are woven together by short, thoght-provoking
sketches.
This book may be regarded as a kind o overtre toGaarders sbseqent writing, even thogh the stories
have down-beat perspectives in shar p contrast to his
later novels.
In his Conessions the chrch ather, Agstine,
mentions that or many years he lived with a mistresswhom he loved deeply and who bore him h is one and
only child.
Their relationship ended when Agstine embarked on apios lie o celibacy or the sa ke o his sols salvation.
In Vita Brevis, which is sbtitled Floria Aemilias Letter toAurel Augustine, Jostein Gaarder has rnished thismistress with a n ame, a voice and a physical presence.
He calls her Floria Aemilia and pens the letters to
Agstine, jst as she might have written them ater
reading his conessions some twelve years ater theysplit p.

The Diagnosis andOther Short Stories(Diagnosen og andre noveller)
First published: 1986
In the rame story, Jostein Gaarder transports himsel to a
second-hand bookshop in Benos Aires where he nearths ashea o papers in handwritten Latin which may, he believes,
be the letters to the venerable chrch ather rom his ormer
mistress. Vita Brevis is Jostein Gaarders translation oFlorias letters to Agstine in which she chides hi m or his
aithless attitde to sensal love. Lie is too short, Floria says,
to sprn the beatil things o Gods creation, and she is
merciless in her criticism o Agstines chosen path anasterely God-earing one. This is an ardent book, and a ne
homage to worldly lie and love.

How can two lovers be reconciled to a lost etern ity?
Frank, a Norwegian evoltionary biologist, isensconced in a hotel room in Madrid, where he is
writing a letter to his estranged wie, Vera, to tell her o
his meeting with a pecliar Spanish cople, Ana and
Jos. To make Vera nderstand how mch this enco-nter has meant to him, he has to begin by telling her
o the time he spent on Taveni in the Fiji Islands inJanary 1998.
The story really begins with the Big Bang, when the
niverse was created, bt it also begins with what Vera
wrote to Frank on a postcard rom Barcelona in 1992.Eqally, the story begins on the qayside in Cdiz one
winter day in 1790, when a ve-year-old boy sells a pack
A tatly written satire centred on mans ollies and
endring vanity, this book rther attests to JosteinGaarders command o bafing, cnningly contrived
intriges that lend themselves to a wide range o
interpretations. This time the protagonist is Petter, a
strange, riendless child who preers his own companyand his own imaginary world. Even when he grows p
his imagination contines to rn riot, bt he cannotbear the thoght o pblishing the stories he writesnder his own name. He abhors pblicity and being
made a ss o. Th is prompts him to lanch Athor
Aid, a scheme designed to provide stories or athors
sering rom writers block. Thogh highly sccesslat rst, it soon proves to be a death trap...
