Den, der vil forstå verden, må lære at se den med sine egne øjne. •To mennesker sætter sig ud over deres egne begrænsninger og kaster sig ud i det modige liv, som de altid har drømt om. •En ny og bemærkelsesroman "Hippie tager læseren med tilbage til de år – for nogle en umulig drøm – med livsglæde og nysgerrighed. År, hvor man virkelig troede på, at man kunne lave revolution med blomster, og at drømme kunne gå i opfyldelse. Altid." Italien, Il Giornale de Vicenza" •"Paulo Coelho er tilbage, i år med en fabelagtig idé, der er lige så usædvanlig som farverne på forsiden af hans nye roman. Titlen er rammerne omkring og emnet for Coelhos nye værk: Den 70-årige brasilianer præsenterer Hippie, et kapitel af hans eget liv, en rejse gennem hippiebevægelsens Europa i 1970'erne. Tyskland, Buchreport Da den unge og rebelske Paulo og den hollandske pige Karla mødes i Amsterdam i 1970, rammer kærligheden dem som et lyn fra en klar himmel. De beslutter at drage ud i verden sammen og søge nye erfaringer på hippieruten i en Magisk Bus. Med på bussen er en flok ligesindede og ikke mindst tidens musik, der dengang satte verden på den anden ende. De unge rejsende søger nye værdier – og er ligeglade med andres mening.

'The Zahir', Paulo Coelho's novel, now available in ebook , incorporates exclusive new content including an extra section containing interviews with Paulo and plenty of information for those for whom the book just wasn't enough.It begins with a glimpse or a passing thought. It ends in obsession.One day a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Though time brings more success and new love, he remains mystified - and increasingly fascinated - by her absence. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their marriage? The unrest she causes is as strong as the attraction she exerts.His search for her - and for the truth of his own life - takes him from France to Spain, Croatia and, eventually, the bleakly beautiful landscape of Central Asia. More than that, it takes him from the safety of his world to a totally unknown path, searching for a new understanding of the nature of love and the power of destiny.With 'The Zahir', Paulo Coelho demonstrates his powerful and captivating storytelling.

In the famous Dam Square in Amsterdam he finds young people playing music, while discussing sexual liberation, the expansion of consciousness and the search for an inner truth. For Paulo and Karla it is a life-defining love story that leads to choices that will set the course of the rest of their lives.

'Anthology' comes from the Greek word that stands for garlands - a bouquet of flowers. An anthology then, should be a sort of reminder of something else, a small token of something much larger. In the case of flowers, they bring with their fragrance and colorfulness the reminder of the fields, of a season. Coelho's anthology, therefore, is not only a collection of texts or poems, but a gift, something arranged according to his sensitivities, to give to others. The selection of books presented in this volume have been chosen as if from a vast field of flowers, stretching infinitely into time's horizon. Coelho's selection is ordered in to the four elements, symbolizing both our world on all its directions, and the way we dwell in this world, the way we say it. In 'Earth' we find writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde and D H Lawrence; in 'Air' Nelson Mandela and Gabriel Garcia Marques; in 'Fire' Rumi and Mary Shelley; in 'Water' Hans Christian Anderson and Machiavelli.

Here Paulo Coelho details his journey across Spain along the legendaryroad of San Tiago, which pilgrims have travelled since Middle Ages. On this contemporary quest, he encounters a Chaucerian variety of mysterious guides and devilish opponents and learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life. The Pilgrimage holds an important place in Paulo Coelho's literary canon. His first book, it not only paved the way for his phenomenal novel The Alchemist , but it also fully expresses his humanist philosophy and the depth of his unique search for meaning.

Another stunning novel by the author of The Alchemist.Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho's beginnings.

This is a modern-day adventure story featuring Paulo's supernatural encounter with angels - who appear as warrior women and travel through the Mojave desert on their motorbikes.Haunted by a devastating curse, Paulo is instructed by his mysterious spiritual master to embark upon a journey - to find and speak to his guardian angel in an attempt to confront and overcome his dark past.

Ultimately it is a story about being able to forgive our past and believe in our future.

Zahir er en roman med mange biografiske islæt. En kendt forfatter - en af verdens bedst sælgende, der skriver om åndelige erfaringer og en gang gik pilgrimsruten til Santiago - bliver pludselig forladt af sin kone. Hun efterlader sig ingen spor. Forfatteren bliver besat af ønsket om at forstå årsagen til hendes forsvinden. Zahir er arabisk, og betyder synlig, tilstede og umulig ikke at lægge mærke til. Noget eller nogen som i begyndelsen bare passerer vore tanker, men som snart bliver det eneste vi kan tænke på. Det kan tolkes som en guddommelig velsignelse eller en besættelse på grænsen til galskab. Zahir handler om søgen efter kærlighed. Den fortæller om en rejse ind i sig selv og ud i verden i forsøg på at blive genforenet med sin elskede. Men får hovedpersonen nogensinde mødt sit livs kærlighed? Og hvad vil det koste ham af selvransagelse og revurdering af egne opfattelser om mand, kvinde, frihed, kærlighed og mening med livet? Vejen til den elskede viser sig at være meget mere kompliceret og længere end tilbagelægningen af den fysiske afstand. Coelho skriver mesterligt og almengyldigt om et besat menneskes kamp med sine dæmoner, om smertefulde renselsesprocesser, men først og fremmest - om kærligheden og medmenneskeligheden.
