PAULO COELHO, página 8 de 30

Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world, and this tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction from the author, will only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

Paulo Coelho, one of the world's best loved storytellers, is back with a riveting new novel set in London. This is the story of Athena, or Sherine, to give her the name she was baptised with. Her life is pieced together through a series of recorded interviews with those people who knew her well or hardly at all -- parents, colleagues, teachers, friends, acquaintances, her ex-husband. The novel unravels Athena's mysterious beginnings, via an orphanage in Romania, to a childhood in Beirut. When war breaks out, her adoptive family move with her to London, where a dramatic turn of events occurs! Athena, who has been dubbed 'the Witch of Portobello' for her seeming powers of prophecy, disappears dramatically, leaving those who knew her to solve the mystery of her life and abrupt departure. This gripping new novel is filled with the themes Paulo fans know and love: spirituality, relationships, destiny, freedom.

Una selección de citas que resume el espíritu vital de Paulo Coelho, la esencia de sus obras, las perlas más preciadas de su pensamiento humanista. "Siempre hay que saber cuándo una etapa llega a su fin. Cerrando ciclos, cerrando puertas, terminando capitulos: no importa el nombre que le demos, lo que importa es dejar en el pasado los momentos de la vida que ya se han acabado."El Zahir"En todos los momentos de nuestra vida existen cosas que podrian haber sucedido y terminaron sucediendo. Existen instantes magicos que van pasando inadvertidos y, de repente, la mano del destino cambia nuestro universo." A orillas del rio Piedra me sente y llore

Una brillante recopilación de las columnas diarias de CoelhoDurante varios años Paulo Coelho colaboró con el periódico brasileño Folha de S. Paulo escribiendo una columna diaria. Maktub surge como fruto de esta colaboracion, ya que se trata de una seleccion que el autor hizo de los articulos que escribio para esa publicacion entre junio de 1993 y junio de 1994. Maktub (en palabras del propio autor) no es un libro de consejos, sino un intercambio de experiencias, una excelente ocasion para reflexionar y reeencontrase con uno mismo.

O Vencedor Está Só é, segundo Paulo Coelho, uma fotografia do mundo em que vivemos. A acção, em ritmo acelerado, passa-se em 24 horas, durante o Festival de Cinema de Cannes. Mas não é a indústria cinematográfica que está em jogo para Igor Dalev, o empresário russo que chega à cidade francesa com a obsessão de recuperar Ewa, o grande amor da sua vida. Para chamar a atenção da ex-mulher, Igor transforma-se num assassino em série. Em torno desta mente doentia estão produtores, actores consagrados, candidatas a actriz, top models e estilistas, num retrato impiedoso da Superclasse, a elite, da elite que define o rumo da vida dos nossos dias. Transmitindo ao leitor pormenores de como vivem e se comportam as personagens baseadas na vida real, Paulo Coelho faz do seu romance não só um testemunho da crise de valores de um universo centrado nas aparências mas, acima de tudo, um thriller que se lê de um só fôlego.

En plein festival de Cannes, la Croisette fourmille de starlettes en mal de gloire, de puissants réalisateurs, d'acteurs de renom et de touristes surexcités. Parmi eux rôde également Igor, brisé par une rupture sentimentale douloureuse. Et qui a décidé de se venger. Les destins se croisent: Gabriela, jeune actrice naïve mais ambitieuse; Jasmine, mannequin rwandais exilé aux Pays-Bas; Javits, producteur influent et véreux; Hamid Hussein, styliste parti de rien et aujourd'hui au sommet de sa gloire... Tous tentent de se faire remarquer dans le monde vicieux et superficiel du show-business. Mais l'irruption d'Igor bouleversera leur vie à jamais. La Solitude du vainqueur fait le portrait d'un monde aux valeurs morales en perdition. Paulo Coelho dépeint une Croisette où les puissants écrasent les faibles, où les hommes s'accrochent à des espoirs illusoires de réussite et les femmes à des canons de beauté tyranniques pour atteindre un but superficiel et vain.
