The smart woman who avoid death by telling stories I think is a metaphor for all writers or story tellers ,because in that way they have a chance to be remebered even after their physical death.Also,in the moment one listen to aq good story or read a good book ca be so involved in text that escape real life and we may say escape time.

I still feel this magical enchantment as I was reading it those two times. It gave me...so much...hope, love, understanding...light. It was like a heavenly experience of the soul, so full of colors, fairy tales, shining stars, and full...dreams. Dreams of the simple boy who wanted to see the world, to find the treasure of his life, to find love. Through his eyes I could see this beautiful place, feel the wind, touch the sand and...experience the miracle of life...every single moment. I will never forget that. And those words of..God..so beautiful. “The Fifth Mountain” amazed me, because it opened my heart to...God. Helped me realize that everything about God is...simple, as we all are. It is enough to feel it, to touch God’s heart. Thank You love Agnieszka Hmm…. “The Alchemist” my first book of Yours Paulo. I still feel this magical enchantment as I was reading it those two times.

Words can make us travel and feel others culture, as if we were living it. Sometimes, I tell to myself: what if the characters and towns we create, were really alive, in another dimension, another time..? This is a part of magic in litterature.
