Product Information

After his release he worked for Polygram and CBS Records until 1980, when he embarked on new travels in Europe and Africa. It was during this trip that he walked the route of Santiago de Compostela, some 500 miles (800 km) of roads first used during the Middle Ages by pilgrims traveling from France to Spain. This extensive journey, inflected by a renewed interest in Catholicism, formed the basis of his first book, O diário de um mago (1987), which was published in English as The Diary of a Magus in 1992 and was reissued as The Pilgrimage in 1995.

The mention of Knights of Templar, ancestral rites done in midnight with those chantings, search for a sword, etc. just did not hit the right chords in me. I had enough of them while being fascinated with the Dan Brown books a few years ago. Just yesterday I was crying about how deeply touched I was reading the last chapters of Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ. Then right after, I spent almost full 24 hours (getting my usual 6-hour sleep of course), trying to finish this book chosen by my Filipino group read for March 2010. This novel, Paulo Coelho's first widely published one, at times feels like a travelogue, sometimes a how-to-do-it-by-yourself book on relaxation and at times like a fantasy novel: what with Paolo being able to talk to his "messenger" (guardian angel), fought with a dog by biting and behaving like a dog, climbing a waterfall naked and with his search for his sword (like Excalibur, my goodness). 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. Before reading this book, I knew that there is only one sacred place or a pilgrimage center which Jerusalem. However, it proved to be two other routes which are: The tomb of saint peter in Rome and the other one which Paulo traveled through. Non entro in dettagli sul perché non l'abbia apprezzato, ma leggere di rituali templari, ordini non meglio identificati, estasi varie grazie ad esercizi spiegati anche nel libro, magia, cani posseduti da cui difendersi mordendo e graffiando, versi della Bibbia che non ci azzeccano niente, Coelho che riceve i carismi dallo Spirito Santo, Coelho che si paragona a Gesù scacciando un demone di nome Legione ( "Qual è il tuo nome?" "Legione perché siamo in tanti. Giuro, nel libro Coelho usa la stessa frase che si trova nella Bibbia. Non c'è il branco di porci ma di pecore. Ha avuto almeno la decenza di non scrivere che i demoni entrano nei corpi delle pecore. Sì, erano anche vicino a un burrone.), ripianta croci mentre è mezzo morto e trova anche un agnello bianco che gli parla tramite sguardi e gli indica la strada... è veramente troppo. Only after defeating arrogance can you be the owner of your steps and path, the architect of your dreams. Details Original Language: Portuguese

Well, the 2 week journey made on foot by Paulo Coelho ended for me this evening. To tell you the truth, after reading this book, I'd like to experience it myself...But enough about me, let's get straight to the reviewing process. Joaquim Caetano): Alcindo Guanabara ► Silvério Gomes Pimenta ► Gustavo Barroso ► Silva Melo ► Américo Jacobina Lacombe ► Marcos Almir Madeira ► Antônio Carlos SecchinIt's difficult to write a review of this one. It completely depends if you feel attracted to the book and the story. A dazzing tale of the road traveled by ordinary people.” Coelho's book traverses the story and journey of a man (himself) learning to be extraordinary through the paradoxical beauty of simply understanding what is ordinary. Un viaje espiritual de autodescubrimiento y crecimiento personal a través del antiguo Camino de Santiago, una ruta peregrina cristiana que supo ser famosa durante toda la Edad Media, y que persiste aún al día de hoy.

There are quite a number of excises in the book you can practice. I certainly are going to work with several of them. Schaertl, Markia The Boy from Ipanema: Interview with Paulo Coelho reposted on Paulo Coelho's Blog. 20 December 2007. Coelho, who had recorded the trajectory of his return to the Catholic faith in The Pilgrimage and The Valkyries, continued to centre both his fiction and nonfiction works on questions of faith and spirituality. O monte cinco (1996; The Fifth Mountain) retells the story of the Biblical prophet Elijah, and Manual do guerreiro da luz (1997; Manual of the Warrior of Light) couches a selection of spiritual exhortations from well-known religious figures in a fictional framework. Though Coelho’s novels continued to succeed both in Brazil and abroad, critics often characterized them as overly didactic and moralizing.

Paulo is instructed by his Master to undertake a pilgrimage of seven hundred kilometers from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago in Spain. The route is one that has been followed by pilgrims for centuries. Paulo's destination is the town of Compostela, also referred to as Santiago, and the tomb of San Tiago. San Tiago was an evangelist, who spread the word of Christ following the crucifixion. Visiting San Tiago's tomb is one of three holy pilgrimages people can make. The other two are to Rome and Jerusalem.
