In his most autobiographical novel to date, Paulo Coelho interweaves adventure, philosophy and the true stories of his own life to give readers an essential book for our time.
'The extraordinary lies in the path of ordinary people.' Paulo
Coelho
Paulo Coelho's life remains the primary source of inspiration for
his books. He has flirted with death, escaped madness, dallied with
drugs, withstood torture, experimented with magic and alchemy,
studied philosophy and religion, read voraciously, lost and
recovered his faith, and experienced the pain and pleasure of love.
In searching for his own place in the world, he discovered answers
for the challenges that everyone faces. He believes that, within
ourselves, we have the necessary strength to find our own
destiny.
His first novel, The Alchemist, has now sold more than 85 million
copies and has been cited as an inspiration by people as diverse as
Malala Yousafzai and Pharell Williams.
Paulo Coelho's books have sold more than 225 million copies
worldwide and he is the most translated living author. He has won
115 international prizes and awards and in 2007 was named a United
Nations Messenger of Peace.
