It is a recollection of Paulo's experiences as he made his way across northern Spain on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. A spiritual journey of self-discovery and personal growth along the ancient Way of St James, a christian pilgrimage route that was famous through all Middle Age, and still persists to this day. Joaquim Serra): José do Patrocínio ► Mário de Alencar ► Olegário Mariano ► Álvaro Moreira ► Adonias Filho ► Dias Gomes ► Roberto Campos ► Paulo Coelho I think a big reason why I enjoyed this book was through my own personal experience, so I could see why it wouldn’t appeal to everyone. However, I would recommend it to those who have taken on a trip for a personal reason to grow and to change. Travel can cause us to question everything about ourselves, which is what Coelho really captures here and in many of this other works.

I failed to keep up with most of the heretical concepts and Paulo didn't introduce them well so the novel lost a whole star It's difficult to write a review of this one. It completely depends if you feel attracted to the book and the story. During his quest Paulo meets many interesting people, who both help and hinder his efforts. Mme Lourdes, Father Jordi, Alfonso, Andrew, and a lamb all offer assistance. Legion, a gypsy, and a couple of small boys try to divert Paulo from reaching his goal. Astrain functions in both capacities. He is helpful in some instances, but in times of great need, Astrain offers bad counsel. Part of Paulo's job during his quest is to filter through all the pieces of advice and compile the pieces which will lead him to his sword. In 1986, when he was 39 years old, he went to a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This pilgrimage became the basis of this book. I am not sure if those supernatural experiences were just added to appeal to a fantasy, sci-fi young readers. There might be truth on the historical aspect of the pilgrimage like it was the route Ulysses, Don Quixote, Dante, Orpheus, Columbus, etc. once took but I am not sure about the others. Of course, I don't think I will ever have the chance to go there and verify as I would rather go to Nazareth, Jerusalem or any other more popular pilgrimage destinations.

Paulo Coelho, (born August 24, 1947, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Brazilian novelist known for employing rich symbolism in his depictions of the often spiritually motivated journeys taken by his characters. In 1986 Coelho walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. [6] [13] On the path, he had a spiritual awakening, which he described autobiographically in The Pilgrimage. [14] In an interview, Coelho stated "[In 1986], I was very happy in the things I was doing. I was doing something that gave me food and water – to use the metaphor in The Alchemist, I was working, I had a person whom I loved, I had money, but I was not fulfilling my dream. My dream was, and still is, to be a writer." [15] Coelho would leave his lucrative career as a songwriter and pursue writing full-time. A turning point in Coelho’s writing career arrived in 1982, when he walked Spain’s road of Santiago de Compostela, an important medieval Christian pilgrimage route. Coelho experienced a spiritual awakening that he chronicled in his second novel, The Pilgrimage (1987). The book had little impact, but Coelho became determined to make a career as a writer. Coelho found his concept for his next book, The Alchemist (1988), in a 1935 short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges called “Tale of Two Dreamers.” Like The Alchemist, Borges’ short story revolves around two dreamers in search of treasure. Coelho sold his book to a tiny Brazilian publishing house, which printed a miniscule first edition of 900 copies and decided not to reprint afterward.

I like everything spiritual, but this felt more on the religious side, and that doesn’t appeal me that much. Jorge Luis] Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage," Coelho has said. "All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum."
