Book description
A novel by the author of The Alchemist.
Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho's beginnings. In a frank and
surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors
embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self-discovery.
Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal
and growth, Paulo decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to
reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe,
Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal-the woman he loved 500 years
before-an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time
and space, through past and present, in search of himself.
Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love
and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges
of life. 'His books have had a life-enhancing impact on millions of people.'
