“When you reach the end of the novel and reflect on it, you

is not just in its pages or in the title of the book. In l

“When I finished reading the last page, I said to myself, wow, what a book, and

“When I was twenty-two, I devoted myself to the study of magic. I followed various paths, walked too close to the

edge of the abyss, slipped and fell, gave up and returned to the path. I imagined that by the time I reached fifty-nine,

I would be close to achieving the paradise and absolute peace that I think I see in the smiles of Buddhist monks.

However, the search for peace has its price, and I ask myself: just how far am I prepared to go?”

The Aleph marks a return to his beginnings for Paulo Coelho. In a frank and surprising personal story, which draws the

reader in from the very first page, he reveals how a grave crisis of faith caused him to go in search of a path of spiritual

renewal and growth. In order to get close to God again, he decided to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect

with people and the world. Between March and July 2006, letting himself be guided by signs, he travelled to various

continents - Europe, Africa and Asia – on a journey through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself.

As the journey progresses, Paulo gradually emerges from his isolation, sheds both ego and pride and opens himself up to

friendship, love, faith and forgiveness, unafraid to confront the inevitable challenges of life.

“I made this journey not in order to find an answer to what was lacking in my life, but in order to be

the king of my own world again. I am once more connected to myself and to the magical world around me.

That is what makes life interesting: believing in treasures and in miracles.”

ook, and I felt in a kind of daze, a mixture of excitement and fascination.” – Thiago Passos

“Our life is a constant journey,

from birth to death.

The landscape changes, the people change,

our needs change, but the train travels on.

Life is the train, not the station.”


4 Paulo Coelho 2010

Paulo and Chris go on a spiritual quest to the arid andsupposedly empty Mojave Desert. The Valkyries is thestory of two people struggling to understand each other,but, most of all, it contains a powerful message aboutforgiving our past and believing in our future. When weaccept and recognize ourselves and our strengths andweaknesses, then we are ready to change the world.

In this novel – which was ahead of its time when it was

first published and continues to be highly relevant today

– Paulo Coelho writes candidly about his battle with fear

and self-doubt. It was, he says, a difficult book to write

because it described feelings and episodes from his own

life, and marks the fragile gap between the magical

tradition to which he belongs and the man he really is.

As Valkirias -

The Valkyries

The unpublished Novel

“A new war is about to break out, from which

no one will escape. We will see two armies.

On the one side, those who still believe in the human race,

in mankind’s hidden powers, and who know that our next

step must involve the nurturing of individual gifts.

On the other side, will be those who believe that life

is about attaining material goals, and nothing more.”

It's time for the individual. Whose side are you on?

The battle for the world is waged within each one of us.


5Paulo Coelho 2010

“We are responsible for everything that happens in this world.

With the strength of our love and our will,

we can change our own destiny, as well as the destinies of many others.”
