  Amigos de Paulo Coelho:

  Mi historía con este autor empezó con el Alquimista, pasaba una muy fuerte depresión que duro siete años.
  Me sentia muy solo, despreciado … ya no importa de todo aprendí.
  Por el principio del libro creo recordar el pastor le dice: ¿Amigos para que …?
  Y empecé a entusiasmarme con la lectura y lo terminé el mismo día 17/12/1997.
  Después: Manual del Guerrero de la luz. La quinta montaña. Brida. A orillas del río Piedra me senté y lloré.

  Así que muy agradecido al Sr. Paulo Coelho por sus lecciones.

  Mister Coehlo,

  My story with you started a day of February 2008… when the Man of my heart, of my life, suggested me to read the Alchemist.

  I read it; 2 days and I was through. I enjoyed it so much; it is a mix of what I loved in childhood, a good story telling but at the same time its so profound and enriching. An amazing book explaining why that many people read it! I appreciated each single page and I am soon to re-read it but this time in my native language: French.

  My Mum was not satisfied and said I should also read the Fifth Mountain. I did read it. She thought I will be bored after 5 pages but I finished the whole book in 2 days. What it taught me is good; never give up. I also liked this book much, it is awe-inspiring.

  Meanwhile I’ve read ‘Conversations with Paulo Coehlo’ written by Arias and I enjoyed to know and understand what you have been throughout all your life. I guessed while reading the 2 previous books that writing was your therapy and that most of the time it was life experiences put down on paper… It is so close to reality, so down to Earth that I understood somebody must have lived those situations before, indeed you were The One.

  Then later on, Mum came back to me and told me to end my cliches on sex, prostitution and all those taboos by reading 11 minutes. AMAZING! three days it was finished… I had to know the end :)
  I simply loved this book. I believe its among the best book I have ever read and I am now advising it to everyone around. More sales to come :))) My people need to feel the goodness of this book.

  I started then Veronika decide de mourir; very hard for me who does not like needles, injection (who does????!!!) and who was a recent witness of my Grandfather’s agony being shot with tranquilisants each single minute he was disturbing. This remains me this horrible and very hostile hospitals’ environment and also how I hated the bad treatment they give to people including my beloved late Grandpa.
  The end and the moral of this book are as usual amazingly good. I enjoyed it much and in a day I was done reading it.

  I am now into the Zahir and I, so far, am having some difficulties to read it as fast as the other… this story is fascinating therefore it will take me longer.

  All in all, Paulo, you are an amazing writer as well as great person. What I’ve learned through my readings so far is non valuable. Reading your lines everyday cheers me up and cool me down. It also motivates me to work on my thesis, sitting and writing as you often do.

  Keep Going, all have been excellent readings and I am glad my Man put one of your writing on my path because you see, 2 years later I am still on it and enjoying it MUCH!

  Thank you so much,
  I am definitely going to read them all and looking forward for new ones.
  Take Care of yourself,

  L.A.C.

  I Love the way the book is written, eventhough it’s written in 3rd person, you can connect with the character (Santiago) and feel every emotion he did. It shows that every one has a personal legend and how sometimes we forget about it (although we know we have to find it). this is one of my favorite books ever!!!!

  The structure is perfect, everything is where it should be. I think that it is interesting that you don’t believe in too much pain, and after pain comes a reward. In life people many times do not see the reward after pain and continue their suffering - plus that thay think that all other people should be alike.

  Actually, I have felt it is mere a glance to the reality of life in the midst of desires and frustrations. And peoples have to seek out their own treasure where they at now. That may be the pilosophy of the story what we, the readers have to know beyond the magical craftiness of narration of COELHO!

  A minha opinião…
  É um livro espiritual, que fala sobre o destino, os sonhos. Sobre como neste universo todos nós queremos alcançar algo, muitos de nós com sucesso, outros que se perdem pelo caminho. É um livro que transmite uma positividade e uma energia que nos faz pensar que a única razão porque não conseguimos o que queremos ser ou ter, é porque o único obstáculo para esse sucesso somos nós! É a história de um simples pastor que ousou arriscar para seguir a sua Lenda Pessoal e que ouviu a Linguagem do Mundo, e por mais obstáculos que surgiram, conseguiu concretizar o seu objectivo.
  Neste mundo todos nós somos “ovelhas”, presos por raízes imaginárias, ao nosso canto, no qual nos refugiamos, o qual conhecemos, o qual receamos perder se ousarmos, seguimos em busca do mesmo objectivo e sempre no mesmo lugar. Poucos de nós, podem se denominar de Pastores, que um dia ousaram deixar de ser ovelhas e ver o mundo com outro olhar!

  Gostei muito do livro ;)

  nossa o livro o alquimista foi e ainda é o livro melhor que eu já li em toda minha vida.
  principalmente porque fala em coisas que me interessa:
  alquimia, lenda pessoal,sonhos e muitas coisa que são melhores do que boas.
  eu amo paulo coelho daria minha vida por ele.
