Jaque mate es un libro único en el que se dan cita y se interrelacionan, como en un tablero de ajedrez, los mejores textos del imaginativo universo de Jostein Gaarder, al cumplirse sus veinte años como escritor. Jaque mate es una colección de enigmas, aventuras y cuentos que nos demuestra por qué los libros de Jostein Gaarder son leídos en todos los continentes, y que han sido sacados de esa gran variedad, imaginación, profundidad y originalidad contenidas en libros como El diagnóstico, El misterio del solitario, El mundo de Sofía, El misterio de Navidad, El enigma del espejo, Vita brevis, Maya, El vendedor de cuentos o La joven de las naranjas. Además, nos ofrece como epílogo un ensayo nuevo: «¿Es una casualidad cósmica la consciencia?».

Jostein Gaarder is a Norwegian intellectual and author of several novels, short stories, and children's books. Gaarder often writes from the perspective of children, exploring their sense of wonder about the world. He often uses meta-fiction in his works, writing stories within stories. Gaarder was born into a pedagogical family. His best known work is the novel Sophie's World, subtitled "A Novel about the History of Philosophy." This popular work has been translated into fifty-three languages; there are over thirty million copies in print, with three million copies sold in Germany alone. In 1997, he established the Sophie Prize together with his wife Siri Dannevig. This prize is an international environment and development prize (USD 100,000 = 77,000 €), awarded annually. It is named after the novel.
