riguardo molto spesso i filmati riguardanti il viaggio..che emozione deve essere stata, per coloro che hanno potuto condividere questa esperienza direttamente.baci*

Your words and thoughts always leave me with inspirations and motivations.
In some ways, it does help me in my daily life, be it actions or words.
Thank you so much for everything.
Have you considered traveling to Asia?
You are loved here too :)

Much love from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Dear Paulo,

I just want to thank you for sharing your personal legend with us. It feels good to see you talking, smiling…to see that you are real. You really touch my heart and soul. I have one question: Are you planning to visit Sweden?

Aquí no puedo ver el video, pero cada vez que abro un libro tuyo, viajo con él en primera persona, magía…

PS2. I’m too stuck with the past.

Annie September 18, 2011 at 10:14 pm

What an amazing experience it must have been!! so beautiful to see this trailer :)

“..The warrior looks at the two columns, of fear and desire. In the column of fear it says you are about to enter a dangerous unfamiliar world, in the column of desire it says you are about to leave the familiar world to enter one where are in store all the things you ever wanted … ”

“..Why do I want to look at his eyes since I can see his soul, his heart into the book directly??” it’s because of…all the Love and Gratitude

to say thank you with one look… for the treasure..for the book, for all the books
to say
thank you for the trip you took
thank you for all the trips you took and the one you will take
thank you for the amazing thing you do sharing all that you are
thank you for seeing in you the fire of enthusiasm, the passion for life
thank you because you are not afraid to show your feelings or to feel ‘naked’ with your books, to say
thank you for being a river that flows and flows and takes everyone on different places every time
thank you for being an endless inspiration
thank you for encouraging warriors to become better and better
thank you for following your dream and encourage everyone to follow his dream and not give up
thank you for being human
thank you for showing your divine light illuminating my life, and all the other lives, like a lamp enlightening the dark crevaces of the soul, where we used to hide
thank you for being true,
thank you for being funny,
thank you for being ,
thank you for everything

Love and Gratitude
Annie

A great video. I’m really looking forward to your new book! I’m very curious. Unfortunately, it takes another year until it appears in the German-speaking countries. I will not grumble, I know it was not your decision, but a little earlier would have been very nice. For what I’ve read so far I have the feeling that it is an absolutely great book.

I wish you all a wonderful night

Leer sus libros es lo unico que en este momento me aparta de mi realidad, me hace viajar por mundos que tal vez yo misma haya caminado ya, todos sus libros me encantan, en cada uno encuentro un mensaje muy lindo y seguro no soy la unica, me imagino que le ocurre a todos sus lectores, pero ayer alguien me presto un libro suyo que no habia leido, La bruja de Portobello y con ninguno de sus libros habia sentido tanta conexion, no lo he terminado aun pero hay parrafos que cuando los leo siento una extrana sensacion de como si se tratara de mi, siento sentimientos encontrados, siento alegria y siento tristeza, cosa que no he sentido con sus otros libros, aunque admito que me encantan, es mas yo vivo en USA y Aleph viajo desde Colombia para yo poder leerlo ya que aqui sale hasta el 27 y hubiera tenido que esperar mucho, el espanol es mi lengua natal y me gusta leer sus libros en mi idioma. Un saludo y gracias por regalar tanta imaginacion y por llevarme en esos viajes atravez de sus lecturas. Siento que lo amo como a un rio, si es un placer conocerlo atravez de sus libros y de el legado que esta dejando en este mundo, no me imagino el placer que seria conocerlo en persona.

Barbara September 18, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Watching the Transiberian Journey videos after having read Aleph is really touching because you see all these connections to the book.

By the way Paulo, did you know that the Beatles have written a song about your blog? ;) It’s called “There’s a place”:

There, there’s a place
where I can go
when I feel low
when I feel blue

Lovely images, very familiar to me, if I’m not mistaken that building at 49 seconds is Lomonosov University which I first saw when I arrived in The Soviet Union in 1987. The hotel we had to stay at as foriegn students was nearby.I remember walking to the University with some new acquantainces surprised to see a lot of trees full of apples which would have been unthinkable to see back home.
Also the sound of the locomotive reminds me of old times when we had to share room with three more people at the compartment and we had tea and food for free granted by our compartments partners.
Old times when if the person in charge of the wagon had the slightest idea we were foreigners travelling without visa within the the borders of the Soviet Union we would have been denied the entrance to the train and reported to our University or Institute and be subject to expulsion from the country. Once coming back from Leningrad and heading to Voronezh via Moscow one of them recognised me, asked for visa which I didn’t have. At that moment angels acted and a hungarian friend gave her visa to me.This way I was able to finish my little adventure safe and sound.
I love those images, I love those people because at a certain point in my life they became part of me.

THELMA September 18, 2011 at 2:44 pm

I have read the ALEPH in English! With this video now I can ‘fully’ imagine the journey.. and ‘dress’ the words with images and sounds.. An amazing book. Blessings.

Reading my former comments here I could not resist of not sending this photo!http://twitpic.com/6mtzmv Looking into your eyes, your Cosmos and feeling your vibrations was a real happiness. Thank you, dearest Paulo Coelho once again. The Circle of life, reincarnation.. THE WAY and THE ALEPH. ‘EVERYTHING in EVERYTHING’= Τα πάντα εν πάσει.
LOVE,

Dear Paulo Thank you
You do indeed touch the heart
My heart… and many hearts around the world
Lovely to see all those readers hearts lit by your words and your prescence
Your books link all those readers together like a railway track
Many hearts lit by a single lovely light
Enlightens the whole world
Bless you & your words
LoveM

Traveling is never a matter of money but of courage. I love this line in Aleph. Could you please come to India.

Ivan S. - Moscow October 10, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Thank you! =)

The reason why i would want to look into the eyes of my favourite author would be not to know his soul, since that can be pretty much done by reading his books, but because i would like him to look into my eyes.

Carmen Larisa September 29, 2008 at 11:39 am

Very touching indeed! The way readers were standing up in a queue just to talk you for a few moments… simply impressive, so much positive energy, enthusiasm and affection! :-) Lives are changed for the better after such experiences I am convinced, we all learn from each other consciously or unconsciously by sharing the experiences of our hearts in the huge, mysterious, playful puzzle called “Life.”
I simply love travelling, meeting new people, new places, having the sensation that my soul, filled with the nectar of bliss, flies over the hills, mountains up to the sky and back, forever enjoying its simply existence and fulfilment in theeternity offered by the present moment…
The Transiberian journey seems adventurous, a very interesting experience, like the Orient Express I have always dreamed of going one day! Thank you dear Sir for presenting it to us, thank you so much! :-)
I love travelling, journeys of life, using all sorts of means of transportation but I must agree with Paul from Austria, going on foot on Mother Earth seems to be the greatest and if possible barefoot! ;-)
May God bless the whole world now and forever!

Lots of hugs and appreciation,
Carmen Larisa

Clary Lopez September 28, 2008 at 7:05 pm

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Even though I’ve seen your heart in your books I still hope to have the honor see your eyes one day. God bless you.

Love,

Tina September 20, 2008 at 2:04 pm

I would like to see your beautiful eyes…Are you coming to Sweden?

Love

THELMA September 20, 2008 at 11:34 am

I am looking forward to seeing the whole film. Thank you.
“..Why do I want to see his eyes since I can see his soul, his heart into the book??”
Because we want to be a part of his beautiful soul and world! The desire of the senses of the material World to experience, his existence and vibrations.
LOVE,
THELMA
