You may know that Romania is a country with a small GDP, inhabited by people that lack optimism or plans for their future. Your literary and philosophic message seems particularly well suited for such a community of people. What can you add for a country with a situation like ours?
By seen the career of my books worldwide, from US to Ukraine, from Brazil to Japan, the only conclusion that I can reach is: we are warriors of the light, regardless the GDP or the political and cultural differences. The only thing is that, in the past, we thought we were alone, but now a book, or a music, or a film, can help us to identify who belongs to our tribe. We are the ones who dare do be different, who pay the price of our dreams, who may be defeated but who never see ourselves as a victim of the circumstances; we are the navigators heading to the unknown sea. And this has nothing to do with countries, but with souls.

“Romania… inhabited by people that lack optimism or plans for their future”
Give me a break!… Romanians have no less optimism than any other European people and talking about making plans, I bet they ask for being posted in Top Ten! In my view, Coelho’s message has nothing to do with countries, politics, or Gross Domestic Product. As he says, actually, so I do not insist on that.
Anyway, Coelho adds something for a country like Romania in his last book — somehow. While fiction writers like Olivia Manning, Sydney Sheldon, Saul Bellow or Barbara Wilson (Sjoholm) put an action going on in Romania just as an pretext, knowing nothing or knowing irrelevant or untrue things about that country, making Romanians to feel ashamed, describing Romanians in a negative manner just for the sake of it, Coelho gives them the sensation he knows them. But this is maybe the difference between a writer and a “fictionist”, between creating fiction and making fiction, whatsoever.
Bringing Romanians in discussion, it is good to know that they have writers attacking fiction from the same direction as Coelho. I’ll point the finger to Mircea Eliade, well known for his scientific work, less known for his fictions.
