Today’s Question by the reader : Stella

by Paulo Coelho on March 23, 2009

Some medias reported the disturbance caused by your biography The Magician. Was this biography published with your authorization? How about its authenticity?

I authorized the biography but Fernando was completely free to use whatever material he wanted.

I never wanted a complacent biography – I gave him the keys to a truck I had with all my writings and only read the book once it was being printed.

I was impressed by certain of the things I did, but I prefer truth in these matters.

It is very interesting to see in 'black & white' how the opinion of another person about you is!!

Dear Paulo Coelho, I am looking forward to reading it and … see if my impression about you that I have formed, through your books and intuitively, is correct. Of course, I will always … love you!
LOVE,
Thelma

Carolena Sabah, thank you for your kind words. Your are gorgeous. I have seen your Space. Of course I do not know much about ‘travelling in the Internet’!! I have a MYSPACE and FACEBOOK accounts thanks to .. Paulo Coelho [ I was trying to find more about him], but actually if I succeed in ‘moving’ it is just a … lucky incident!
LOVE,
Thelma.

Stella – you are a *star*.
Kealan – Let the Sun shine in
Paul – Hello darkness my old friend – You have seen the Light.

Kealan, you’re so funny! and Thelma, you’re so sweet! Paul, I agree with you.

It’s good to be bad sometimes ;) I’m looking forward to reading some juicy information lol

Well, it’s a process… life’s a process, the important thing is to learn improve and do better.

love,
C.

This sounds as if this book would be your personal list of broken rules. So bad? How many volumes are there? ;-)

Disturbance is the best promotion. People are eager for scandals or better what they regard as scandals.

I myself have always some problems with this attitude.

P.S. Did you meet inbetween the man, whose name you wanted to know?

Satish Kumar also wrote a sort of environmental biography of his home area along with his spiritual thoughts -
it is called Earth Pilgrim.
