More About the Author

The Brazilian author PAULO COELHO was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Before dedicating his life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist and journalist.

In 1986, PAULO COELHO did the pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella, an experience later to be documented in his book The Pilgrimage.

In the following year, COELHO published The Alchemist. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time.

Other titles include Brida (1990), The Valkyries (1992), By the river Piedra I sat Down and Wept (1994), the collection of his best columns published in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S'o Paulo entitle Maktub (1994), the compilation of texts Phrases (1995), The Fifth Mountain (1996), Manual of a Warrior of Light (1997), Veronika decides to die (1998), The Devil and Miss Prym (2000), the compilation of traditional tales in Stories for parents, children and grandchildren (2001), Eleven Minutes (2003), The Zahir (2005)

During the months of March, April, May and June 2006, Paulo Coelho traveled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella in 1986. He also held surprise book signings - announced one day in advance - in some cities along the way, to have a chance to meet his readers. In ninety days of pilgrimage the author traveled around the globe and took the famous Transiberrian train that took him to Vladivostok. During this experience Paulo Coelho launched his blog Walking the Path - The Pilgrimage in order to share with his readers his impressions.

Since this first blog Paulo Coelho has expanded his presence in the internet with his daily blogs in Wordpress (http://paulocoelhoblog.com), Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/paulocoelho) & Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paulo-Coelho/11777366210). He is equally present in media sharing sites such as Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=paulabraconnot) and Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulo_coelho/sets) , offering on a regular basis not only texts but also videos and pictures to his readers.

From this intensive interest and use of the Internet sprang his bold new project: The Experimental Witch http://paulocoelhoblog.com/experimental-witch where he invites his readers to adapt to the screen his book The Witch of Portobello. You can still subscribe in this experiment!

Indeed Paulo Coelho is a firm believer of Internet as a new media and is the first Best-selling author to actively support online free distribution http://piratecoelho.wordpress.com of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars El espejo del alma., September 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: El Alquimista: Una Fabula Para Seguir Tus Suenos (Paperback)
La noche que agarré este libro no pude soltarlo hasta que mis ojos leyeron la última oración. Es un libro que describe la simpleza de la vida, y los sentimientos que a todos nos inundan más de una vez. Paulo Coelho describe estas cosas, junto con la importancia de seguir adelante y luchar por nuestros sueños, con una pureza indescriptible, una pureza que te llena y te contagia de esas ganas de vivir, de abrirte a las cosas más importantes que te da la vida. El dice que cuando una persona quiere realmente algo el univerzo entero conspira para que pueda realizar su sueño, lo que no quiere decir que todo va a venir de arriba, sino que tenés que luchar, pero que al final va a valer la pena, porque no solo vas a cumplir tu sueño, sino que vas a llevarte la satifacción de haerlo hecho y lo aprendido por el camino. Paula de Ezcurra, 16 años.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mi me cambio la vida, February 6, 2001
This review is from: El Alquimista: Una Fabula Para Seguir Tus Suenos (Paperback)
Este libro lo lei cuando estaba en una crucijada personal y espiritual en mi vida. Lo he leido en el original, en portugues, tambien en espanol y en ingles. Me hizo examinar mi propia vida de una forma que nunca antes habia considerado y me ayudo encontrar las fuerzas para tomar unas decisiones para cambiar el camino en que iba mi vida. Hoy en dia es un libro que aun recomiendo para todos-amigos y estudiantes. Desde la primera vez que lo lei, lo he regalado a unos 20 de mis estudiantes para su graduacion del colegio. Lo recomiendo para todo el mundo, no importa si es cristiano, judio, musulman, porque tiene lecciones valiosas para todos nosotros.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitivamente una fábula para seguir tus sueños, May 5, 2001
By 
Aymara V. Otero (sarasota, fl USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Alquimista: Una Fabula Para Seguir Tus Suenos (Paperback)
Maravilloso!!! Este libro me ha cambiado la perspectiva en la vida.Desde que lo leí me he propuesto, dentro de lo que cabe, a hacer lo posible por llevar a cabo mi "historia personal". Es algo así como "el pequeño príncipe", una historia sencilla con un vocabulario simple, pero con mucho corazón, que a su vez encierra la clave para una vida plena y feliz. Perfecto para quien necesite un cambio refrescante en su vida y todavía no ha hallado el valor para cambiarla.
