Provides a great overview of Coelho's life,
By
This review is from: Paulo Coelho Confessions of a Pilgrim (Paperback)
This book is based on a series of interviews that Juan Arias conducted with Paulo Coelho back in 1998. It provides a lot of information about the legendery author and his struggles, including experimentation with drugs and magic, being put into a mental hospital by his parents when he was a young man, and his kidnapping by paramilitaries. I also really liked how the book described Coelho's transformation after his pilgrimage on The Road to Santiago, and what he hopes his books accomplish. All in all, Coelho has had a very interesting life and reading this book will give you a better understanding of the messages he conveys to his readers.

Biography of a Prophet,
By
This review is from: Paulo Coelho Confessions of a Pilgrim (Paperback)
A great book for the fans of Paulo, who would like to know more about the life, history & experiences of their beloved prophet. Paulo reveals it all in the series of private interview taken by the author. An insightful book which connects all the books and stories of Paulo giving them a past, present and a future. This book is the only source to know Paulo Coelho from the inside.
