You deal with very delicate issues in the Witch of Portobello, such as prejudice, religious intolerance and dogma. Aren’t you afraid of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church with this novel? After all you defend the idea that God is the Great Mother.
I’m not afraid of that. I go every year to a Benedictine retreat in Austria, called Melk. There I spoke to abbot Buckhard about catholic tradition and, during our talks, the issue of women’s exclusion came up. He told me that the Benedictine have prayers dedicated to the Goddess-Mother. In 200 years I believe that feminine divinity will no longer be a taboo.

Les belles lettres étaient à l’honneur en ce début du mois de mai à Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Paulo Coelho récompensait trois “premiers romans”, désignant ainsi le 1er prix littéraire Femme Actuelle / Les Nouveaux Auteurs.
from TorrentFreak - USA
Paulo Coelho, author of books such as “The Alchemist” and “The Witch of Portobello”, sold over 100 million books last year. In part, he puts this success down to BitTorrent, as he saw a huge increase in sales when his books appeared on sites such as The Pirate Bay. We talked to Coelho to find out more about this remarkable story.
“Since the dawn of time, human beings have felt the need to share - from food to art. Sharing is …

Como probablemente Uds. lo han visto en mi calendario: en el 29 y el 30 de Mayo, estaré celebrando los veinte anos de mi libro El Alquimista.
He decidido hacer-lo en un local simbólico, Avilés, una pequeña ciudad en Asturias, España. Me gustaría así invitar algunos de Uds. para el acto de conmemoración del libro que será a las 20h en el Teatro Palacio Valdés, C/ Palacio Valdés, 985 549 658, Avilés, Asturias
Estamos en el proceso de chequear las posibilidades de transmitir esta conferencia en directo gracias a la tecnología de Seesmic. Estamos trabajando duro para que esto funcione, pero dependemos de la conexión Internet del teatro. Si logramos instalar todo, Paula empezara a pedir-les que manden sus videos a partir de la próxima semana, así que os veremos en un telón en la escena, y os responderé.
Castellano será la lengua del evento así que os invito a dejar sus preguntas en esta.
El día siguiente también podremos visitar una exposición dedicada al libro en el
Palacio Valdecarzana, C/ El Sol s/n , 985 510 667, Avilés, Asturias
Si UD. quiere venir, iremos elegir los primeros que manden su confirmación a este mail : pilar_piedra@hotmail.com
Por favor no olvide de poner en el mail su link de su blog.
Esta invitación se limita a estos dos eventos – todos los gastos del viaje deben ser cubiertos por los que desean venir.
Con amor
Paulo
As you may have noticed in my Calendar : on the 29th and on the 30th of May I will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of my book The Alchemist. I decided to do it in a very symbolical place, Aviles, a small town in Asturias, Spain.
I would like then to invite some of you to attend the conference/event on the 29th of May at 20h in Teatro Palacio Valdés, C/ Palacio Valdés, 985 549 658, Avilés, Asturias
We are in the process of checking the possibilities to broadcast it live via web thanks to the technology of Seesmic. We are working hard to make it work, but we depend on the local high speed connection. If we manage, Paula will start asking you to send video questions from next week on, so we will see you in a screen placed on the stage, and I will answer them. Spanish will be the language of the event, therefore the questions should be in Spanish.
The following day, we will be able to also visit the exhibition dedicated to the book in
Palacio Valdecarzana, C/ El Sol, 985 510 667, Avilés, Asturias
If you want to come, we will proceed on the basis of “first come, first served” - therefore please write to the following email address (don’t forget to send us your blog link!) : pilar_piedra@hotmail.com
Please also note that I am only inviting you to attend these events - all costs are to be taken care of by those who wish to come.
Love
Paulo
