Description

Aleph

This boob translated by all printers for publishing and distripution

In his most personal novel to date, internationally bestselling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery.

Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith.

As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, his only real option is to begin again—to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him.

Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian railroad, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion.

Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before—and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life.

Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life’s inevitable challenges.

Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys.

Paulo Coelho’s books have sold more than 130 million copies and have been translated into 72 languages.

Besides The Alchemist, his international bestsellers include Eleven Minutes, The Pilgrimage, and many other books whose characters grapple with seemingly simple spiritual themes: light and darkness, good and evil, temptation and redemption.

But never before has Coelho chosen to place himself as a character so profoundly in the midst of that struggle — until now.

In Aleph (Knopf, September 2011), Coelho writes in the first person, as a character and a man wrestling with his own spiritual stagnation.

He’s 59 years old, a successful but discontented writer, a man who has traveled all over the world and become widely acclaimed for his work.

However, he can’t shake the sense that he’s lost and deeply dissatisfied. Through the leadership of his mentor “J.,” Coelho comes to the conclusion that he must “change everything and move forward,” but he doesn’t quite know what that means until he reads an article about Chinese bamboo.
