The best books by Paulo Coelho
The pilgrim of Compostela
The first great work of his life. Under the original title Diário de um Mago, this book is written after the author's pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago.
In it, Coelho's personal experiences and experiences are narrated in his adventure through the Galician forests.
The Alchemist
His greatest success. The first print run would sell only 900 copies, so the publisher decides to cancel its sale.
The story would not end there, because his next work, Brida, would lead the press to focus on The Pilgrim of Compostela and The Alchemist, making the latter the best-selling book in the history of Brazil, entering the Guinness Book of Records as the most translated in history (53 languages).
The plot tells the adventures of Santiago, a young boy in search of a treasure in Africa. During the trip you will live a multitude of new experiences and meet new characters that will lead you to enrich yourself as a person.
Flange
Published in 1990, this novel explains how a young Irish woman desperately seeks to become a witch. All this, with the background of the theme of love involved.
Valkyries
The protagonist looks for his angel. The reason? Being able to meet and talk to him in a play where the action takes place in the desert and accompanied by his wife.
The title refers to the appearance of the Valkyries, daughters of the god Odin who will help you during your journey.
Maktub
This creation by Coelho is somewhat peculiar and different from anything previously produced by the author.
It is a compilation of press releases from different Brazilian newspapers. Its objective is to serve as a point of reflection and spiritual encounter with our person.
On the banks of the Piedra River I sat and cried
Pilar, a frustrated and independent young woman, decides to turn her life 180 degrees after meeting an old friend. This one, has become a spiritual teacher and convinces her to take a trip along the French Pyrenees.
