\u2014 Paulo Coelho<\/p>\n<\/div>\n NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — An essential companion to Paulo Coelho<\/a>\u2019s inspirational classic and international bestselling fable \u201cThe Alchemist<\/a>,\u201d Maktub<\/a> (HarperOne; On Sale March 5, 2024; Hardcover), meaning \u201cit is written,\u201d is gathered from a daily column Paulo Coelho wrote of the same name and invites readers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. Coelho explains, \u201cMaktub is not a book offering advice. It is an exchange of experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. \u201cA man who seeks only the light and hands all his responsibilities to others will never find enlightenment. A man who keeps his eyes fixed only on the sun will end up blind,\u201d as Coelho quotes the master. These wise tales offer the perspectives of talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints addressing the mysteries of the universe.<\/p>\n Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.<\/p>\n About the author: More at: https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/pages\/paulocoelho<\/a> and https:\/\/paulocoelhoblog.com\/<\/a> <\/p>\n And on social media: Facebook, X, Instagram <\/p>\n Maktub Melinda Mullin

Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. The Alchemist is one of Coelho\u2019s most popular works. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland. <\/p>\n
