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.
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 has
discovered answers for the challenges that everyone faces. He
believes that, within ourselves, we have the necessary strength to
find our own destiny.
His novel The Alchemist has sold more than 65 million copies and
has been cited as an inspiration by people as diverse as Malala
Yousafzai and Pharrell Williams. Paulo Coelho’s books have sold
more than 175 million copies worldwide. He is the writer with the
most followers on social media and is the most translated living
author in the world. He has won 115 international prizes and
awards, has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since
2002 and in 2007 was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
