Dear Paulo
I am reading your book Aleph , It is amazing really , I think I felt this Aleph , maybe I am wrong but I felt it when I was visiting the Egyptian Museum, in certain place , I felt that I am a pharaoh princess steeping to her kingdom , it is funny i know , but I said I have to share it , Thanks for your amazing books & Thanks for reading my comment :)
I read your Aleph during my free time for 3 days and at night when i go to sleep, I dreamt about it and other things (different issue and yet felt so related). It gave me the feeling of losing comprehension between those in your book and those from my dreams.
Of course I could make no sense at all. Or that I actually do. I just felt the desire to just say so to you, and to your book.
sir,
i m reading Aleph right now..the book is simply amazing…there r parts which i have read more than two times and even posted to my friends.
i have read all your books and in each i have discovered a part of me and i have always fond the naswers to so many things which hoound me at times.
thanks for writing such wonderful thoughts.may god always bless you.
I finished Aleph, since yesterday. And I’ll have to admit it’s one of the best books that I’ve read so far. I’ve read most of your books. Aleph is number 1, followed by 11 minutes. Hopefully soon we’ll get to read some more from you. You’re not only a genuis. You’re a man of wisdom, a dreamer, a role model. And I want to thank you.
Querido Pablo, después de 45 días de viaje por Europa, que concluyó en diez días de peregrinaje hasta Santiago de Compostela en una experiencia que me atravesó y que nunca pense que estuviera marcada en mi camino, más allá de haber leído Diario de un Mago hace casi 15 años y llegue a mi Buenos Aires natal sin saber cómo responder a las preguntas que me hacían sobre mi experiencia.
Pero entonces me encontré con Aleph en la librería, y al libro me remitiré para explicar mi aventura.
Leerlo fue leer mi cuaderno de notas, sumado a encontrar alli mis pensamientos más profundos y menos confesados y eso me hizo sentir parte del todo, como cuando a los 16 años me regalaron el Alquimista y me pude reconocer menos extraña.
Gracias por compartirlo.
cariños
Paulo , I just finished in reading Aleph , it has been the best book I ever read , I was passign trough dificult times , as you told in the story , and read this book had make me feel better , with energy and not to be scared about situations in life , I really wants to say thank you for wrote so wonderful book and make me feel every day happy and ready to fight … God bless you and keep writting those wonderful books because in every word you wrote you show us the real love and how we can do many things if we think that live is beatiful…
Dear Paolo,
I’ve just finished reading The Alchemist. Thank you so much for being a real alchemist throughout the book. You have turned every single word into immense, profound and wise pleasure. The book has been a real “caravan” and the worlds I have been transported to are just magic and the people you made us, readers, encounter have been intelligently entertaining as well as inviting us to rethink and see life through newer lenses.
One more time, THANK YOU.

Dear Paulo, thank you for your books.
Last few month were so difficult for me, I had some medical problems any nobody could heel me and understand what was going on with me. I just knew that I’ve been lost my Path. I couldn’t find a reason why I should live what I should do in my life and WHO I am… Then I’ve got your book “The Valkyries” which was newly published in Russian language. Everything I’ve read there was like about me. And I want to thank you, because u became the only person who’d founded words I needed to hear. Words that could explain me what should I do and why I’m still alive.
Thank you so much.

Reading “The With of Portobello” great book Mr.Coelho!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just wondering if anyone has translated Alchemist in Nepali?
How do you want it? English or Spanish? Well Since I don’t think you are going to read this and because I am using an English keyboard I will stick with English. Oh, How I love Pointless talk sometimes… Ok, now down to business. I am from Colombia, currently living in Canada, I have read a few of your books (La Quinta Montana-The Fifth Mountain Being my favourite) and five minutes ago I ended reading The Devil and Ms. Prym. It was awesome as all your works are. Your books have been the spark that made me realize that I also wan to be a good writer. Then I looked on the internet how to be a good writer? I wasted more than 4 years trying to answer that question and today 5 minutes ago I realized that I found no answer because my question was the wrong one. I will keep to myself my question and will reveal it should I become as great or even greater than you are. That being said I just want to add that your books are great, I don’t know how you do it, but you have that THING that keep people focused on the tale and the book and on the idea even if it is for a little while since human beings have the tendency to make a commitment to themselves when they read something inspirational, but give up a few steps ahead.
If happen to read this words give a sign or an e-mail just saying Hi, I read your words.
Уважаемый Пауло Коэльо, хочу начать с того, что вы подарили мне новую жизнь, спасибо вам! Мне очень нравятся ваши книги, они интересные и загадочные.Спасибо вам за то, что вы дарите нам счастье и любовь в книгах.Я с нетерпение жду новую книгу “Алеф” и с удовольствием её прочитаю. Нина (Россия)
Dear Mr. Paulo, Your books are really books of wisdom and open new sites of imagination to me. I am really impressed and want you to write more.I too have dreams and by the grace of Allah I achieve my goals one after the other. I have strong belief in God Almighty and want to share with all the readers to be determined in life to succeed.
I want to have all those books, but I can’t afford to buy.. so sad.. can somebody sponsor me those books? please.. I have already read Like The flowing River and it inspires me a lot.. if you’re willing just send me a message @ david_archie2814@ymail.com
Thanks for not making your books into movies. Encouraged me to read more and expanded my imagination. Finally realized why my ex left me (the Zahir). Obrigado, Mr. PC
I super love your books! Among your works, Alchemist is the first book that I read and I didn’t put it down until I finished it! All your works is simply amazing, smart storytelling, imaginative plots and characters that will be sure to teach us a lesson or two in our own life. I really hope that I would be able to write as well as you do.
Thank you for sharing gift of writing to each of us!
Dear Paulo
love your books, have read all of them and most of them several times, very inspiring:) i would love if you would post on your facebook profile a list of books and authors which have inspired you, always looking for good reads:)

Dear Paulo,
You are an amazing writer with the power of changing lives with your words. Reading your books, I have found explanations for so many things that we unknowingly do. I’ve had many goosebump moments while reading them. Your books are so addictive that I cant wait to pick up another as soon as I finish one.
I adore you and wish I can read all of your books soon.
Best regards,
Poorvi.
j’ai lus plusieures livres et je suis une grande fan de paulo coelho et j’ai presque tt ces livres et le premier que j’ai lu c’etait l’alchimiste qui vraiment laissé réflichire et que la vie ns donne tjrs une chance et qu’elle encore belle.
Hi Paule Coelho,i enjoy reading your books.they’re always helping me.
thenk you so much. Love from KOSOVO
Meu nome é luiz,tenho 36 anos e adoro ler.Leio tudo que esteja ao meu alcance e acredito que isso me faça uma pessoa melhor,mais culta,tranquila e aberta a tudo que este mundo nos oferece.Não terminei meu segundo grau,mas tenho uma facilidade de leitura e de entendimento.Apesar de adorar ler,os livros verdadeiramente bons,só me vieram à mão depois dos 25 anos,pois eu não conseguia ficar parado por muito tempo lendo,logo queria estar por ai com os amigos fazendo festa.Quando comecei a sentir o prazer de sentar tranquilamente e ler um livro,nunca mais consegui ficar sem um na cabeceira de minha cama.Ja li livros de Mark Frost,Khaled rosseini(otimo),Romances de Loty Ger,Markus Suzak,William P. Young(apesar de cita-los,não sou expert em livros e autores,apenas tenho boa memoria e todos os livros que marcam eu me recordo.Mas de todos os livros que li,tenho a absoluta certeza que seus livros são os realmente inesqueciveis.Cada livro que eu li,me prenderam de uma forma que pouco da pra explicar.Voce começa e não quer mais parar.
Cada livro seu tem um “ALGO MAIS” e me da um prazer enorme de le-los.Os mistérios.os romances,os personagens ficticios e tambem os reais de cada livro são extremamente brilhantes e apaixonantes.Ja li muitos de seus livros e agora estou lendo um que ainda não havia lido que é “O Vencedor está só”.Alem deste faltam eu ler Brida,As Valkirias,Maktub e a sua biografia,pois compro quando posso e as condições me permitirem.Bom,este pequeno relato é apenas pra parabeniza-lo pelo sucesso(mundial) e pelo dom que você tem e agradecer por nos oferecer parte desse dom nos presenteando com seus livros que unem,sensualidade,misterio,romance,drama e etc.Seu brilhantismo é incomparavel e depois que li seus livros me tornei um grande fã seu.
Parabens e fique com Deus!!!
Dear Paulo,
I have been reading your books and they are really life-changing; really enlightening.
I have just finished Brida- I felt like I was a witch- and I have started the first few pages of The Zahir.I have read almost all of your books; I love Eleven Minutes and The Alchemist.Your books are euphoric and addictive.
Thank you for inspiring me.

Ma douleur est celle du Christ,
Et même si j’ai parfois été sa couronne d’épine
ou son bourreau,
j’ai aussi porté sa croix,
Aujourd’hui, j’aime créer son corps mystique,
Christ cosmique, toute vie, tu es l’Univers
et je souhaite t’aider à la parousie;
L’édification de ton corps est si longue,
impatient, j’aimerai te voir consommé;
Mes mains ne portent pas les stigmates
mais je ressent ta douleur physique,
par ma souffrance psychique;
Pourquoi t’a t’on fait tant de mal
nous, pécheurs de l’extrème?
J’ai alors ,un jour, été atteind par la métanoïa,
et je me suis identifié à toi, Seigneur de toute vie!
Paulo, Ce sont tes livres et d’autres ,qui m’inspirent
coucou jane birkin ;-) LOL
J’ai regarde le livre d;or
j’ai ete impressionne par la qualite des sculptures avec ces themes geometriques
les peintures me rappellent quelque chose, un mouvement, la brise en transhumance :)..tout cela me fait chaud a l’ame
et cette poesie exaltante …
merci
j’en profite pour faire un petit coucou a jane et a sergiou
jecoute la deca dance & tout rythme
gros mimis a tous
:) UN GROS SOURIRE SOEUR Paulo
I like your books Paulo!You very good author

Agneau de Dieu
Poussières et nébuleuses étoilées,
Grouillant de lumière
en spectre dans les yeux,
Choisis ta vie,choisis ta voie, choisis ton Fils
et vis jusqu’au bout pour ton Père,
Pour la Terre Mère,
Au fond des océans et dans les Cieux,
Toi qui trône au dessus des peuples et qui rassemble,
Toi qui vis en et à travers toutes vies,
Toutes créatures,
Reposes ton âme et enveloppes la mienne
de ton Esprit, de ton coeur.
Seigneur de l’Univers, Absolu
Corps Universel d’Amour,
Enlaces moi, portes moi jusqu’aux étoiles
Envahis moi de Ta vie, fais moi voir la Vérité,Ta lumière
et transportes moi aux sommets des montagnes
que je devienne ton plus humble disciple et serviteur
Absorbes moi dans Ton Esprit et apprends moi
tous res mystères
Que je m’éloigne à jamais de l’ignorance
Noies moi dans ta béatitude que je goûte à ta joie
Formidable Zaineb
Tu est soufi par nature
c l’ame qui parle en toi
c l’esprt libre et Saint
Que Dieu Allah te oomble de NOUR
dear Paulo,
i am like a big fan of yours.I don’t know how to tell you its your search of finding worth living that captures me.Unlike others you don’t say its sad ending or happy ending you say how life really is! we are all fumbling in this world trying to keep up, its your straight forwardness i love the most and your beliefs.through you i understood life is a endless search nothing more!
I don`t know which of your novels to mention first. I had the pleasure to read some of them,(those translated in albanian) but I can`t say I liked this one more than another one. I wish you to be always as creative as you have been since now.Thank you for giving us such great pleasure while reading your novels.
Caro Paulo, não tenho como falar apenas de um livro que o Sr. escreveu e mexeu comigo, parece que todos surgiram em minha vida conforme precisei, li todos e ando com eles na minha mente sempre.Estava estudando sobre vidas passadas pois tenho um filho que teve paralisia cerebral e surge então o Aleph para me ajudar novamente, parece realmente que caminho junto contigo, pois surgem situações e surgem livros novos que se encaixam perfeitamente, então não tenho outra forma a não ser seguir seus passos e ficar atenta sempre ao próximo livro, que espero sempre ansiosa.
Só tenho a agradecer…
Dear sir,
I begin to write, and stop, wondering: how do you write to a Nobel Prize winner and ask them to come to your school to give a lecture? I am going to use plain English and direct sentences. I am an educationalist at Al Jamea tus Saifiyah, Arabic Academy, Surat, India. Our education system is primary Islamic, Fatemi oriented, and we also have a small, but evolving Humanities program.
Your books have an international appeal, and we love them down here. The Alchemist is quite popular. I was wondering if you would honor us by sharing your thoughts and ideas about writing with us. It need not require you to come down here. We can arrange an e-lecture. We have the facilities. All we require is, aybe an hour,of your time.
Thank you
Most thankfully,
Zainab Alaqmar
Dear Paolo,
Thank you so much for sharing your words of wisdom. I just wanted to say I was first introduced to your book The Alchemist in 2003 when I had just moved from Atlanta to Washington DC and was having trouble finding my place. I was miserable and ready to move back. My roommate who was from Puerto Rico gave me your book as a gift and told me he thought it would help me find the courage and inspiration to tough it out and stay. That book has had the biggest impact on my life then and now. Now, when I hear a friend talk about having a difficult time and wanting to give up or feeling desperate, I give my copy away and buy another, just as my roommate had done for me. I have purchased MANY copies over the years. Thank you for helping me and many of my friends through tough times!
LOVE!

Dear Mr. Coehlo,
I just finished reading El Vencedor Esta Solo which was as well written as all of your novels. I’m looking forward to reading Valkirias but I’m sure it will be very profound and inspiring. My favorite novel is Once Minutos but it is really hard to pick just one among your many amazing stories.
God bless you Mr. Coehlo.
Es la primera vez que me atrevo a comentar sobre algo en tu página, tal vez se lo debo a que acabo de terminar de leer Brida y me ha hecho reflexionar un poco, sobre que siempre he tenido el deseo interno de conocer nuevas cosas de vivir otras experiencias, pero he estado viviendo quien sabe si como muchos en la rutina de la vida, sin ilusiones, exitaciones cosas nuevas que llenen de vida, mi vida. Gracias por regalarnos experiencias de otras vidas que levantan almas dormidas.
Cher Paolo,
J’ai eu le très grand plaisir de lire Brida. Ce roman nous fait plonger dans un monde magique, et nous amène à nous poser des questions sur nous-mêmes, le monde, le sens de tout ce qui nous entoure, les signes cachés… Bref, j’ai passé un très bon moment, et j’ai appris des choses que j’ n’oublierai pas. Merci pour ce livre.

Dear Paulo Coelho,
I am very much exciting reading your book Eleven Minutes. My wife Maya Lohani is one of your greatest reader. She always tells me about you and your writings. I am also a short story writer from Dhaka, Bangladesh. My wife Maya Lohani is a Bosnian citizen. Now we are living in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I decided to read your all books. Maya have some of your books and I am searching the rest of. It is my freat pleasure to read you what an exciting impression in your writings. You must be my favourite writer until my death.
I wish & dream to meet you one day. If you visit Bangladesh anytime please feel free to have a visit to us. Cause we both have dream to see you in our place one day.
All the best. Have a nice time and good health. God bless you.
truly yours
Reza Ghatok

Me encanta entrar en el mundo que existe en cada uno de tus libros. Entrar al mundo de la realidad que no logramos ver tan facilmente en nuetro alrededor, pero si se puede ver cuando leemos. Siento algo maravilloso cuando leo tus libros y me puedo identificar con los personajes, es impresionante. Gracias por escribir y publicar libros que le dan vida al alma y sentido a la vida.
Its always pleasure reading your work, You have such a nice opinion about life and how to live it. Read a few books of yours and wish to go through all of them but time is the key.
But i made a conclusion of my own after reading The Alchemist and i hope you would corrct me may be i am wrong “Believing is happening.” I mean one should have strong faith and that strength of his believe turns the tables around for him and things start happening for him.
Best Regards,
valquirias.
lo acabo de terminar y la verdad es que lo recomiendo……
muy buen libro.
Thank you for Brida… Now I know that my heart was telling the truth. His need to listen, hear and believe. Believe in yourself, in happiness, in love … Thank you for your happiness …
I read a lot of 10 and 20 sec readings of yours.
This interest is a gift to me from my husband,who loves to listen short stories before he goes to bed.He loves the stories which are short and truly inspires in one way or other.
Thank you for writing such beautiful stories….
My husband (Mr.Vijay) and I truly thank you for the same.
thankyou sir for sharing the parts of yourself….. many of ur books have been like answers to my questions….. it has meant a lot….. always looking forward to reading your books…..
love and regards
ruchi
I was always in search for the secret of happiness, the secret of what I like to do most. The Alchemist gave me the answers to some of my questions and I am happy that some of the questions I am yet to find the answer. This journey is wonderful. Thank you Paulo
Leer sus escrito es un viaje al interior del ser humano, es descubrirnos a nosotros mismo e impactarnos de lo oculto de nuestro ser interno; de lo lejos que estamos de nuestra espiritualidad. Del vacío que llevamos dentro mientras transitamos en el mundo…es el saber que existen, además de los humanos otros elementos en el universos a los cuales podemos escuchar y, con los cuales podemos hablar; es buscar angeles y demonios estraviados en nuestros YO. !ES IMAGINAR COMO SE PUEDE LEVANTAR UNA CRUZ CON LAS MANOS SANGRIETAS, TEMBLOROSAS DE DOLOR! y aún asi lograrlo, porque habras encontrados la solución, dentro de lo imposible se crea lo posible…
i ve never had the habit of readin books before but i somehw managed to read a couple of then until i read Brida…its kinda wierd tat i always found myself eying the book when ever i passed by in the book store…i donno if it was the title, the coverpage o the summary tat kept pulling me towards it (hwever dramatic it may seem…but its true)…but when i started readin, i was totally glued to it…everything seemed so convincing…from then on ve read 6 books of urs n readin the 7th one with lot of interest and eagerness…Brida, evelen minutes, like the flowing river remains the mst fav amongest wat ve read…thank u for sharing such wonderful thoughts, helping us reflect our thoughts and action…helping us introspect life in general…thank you
i love your and your books!11 minute
sus libros me trasladan, cuando los comienzo no me puedo detener hasta terminarlos. me dejanuna sensacion maravillosa en el alma. Gracias por darme esta maravilla y por permitirme conocer la lectura gracias a sus obras ahora amo leer.
Chacun de vos livres est pour moi un pas dans ma vie. Vos oeuvres m’ont permis de traverser certains moments de ma vie que je ne pensais pas pouvoir vaincre. Mais j’avais tord.
Vous avez été cette main tendue à mes côtés pour m’aider à avancer, ces bras qui m’ont consolés quand je n’en pouvais plus de souffrir, cette voix qui me disait de m’accrocher… Sans votre oeuvre, je ne sais si je serai là aujourd’hui mais je vous en remercie.
Saudações a todos,
Sobre o texto a respeito do sexo, é evidente que ele é importante… Dele depende até a preservação da vida. Só não concordo quando o autor diz que ele é barato. É de fato o sexo o ápice das despesas do homem, ou da mulher, pois tudo que fazemos na vida é para elas…
Curti muito o texto… Parabéns, mais uma vez!
Emanoel M Arruda

Dear Paolo,
Just finished The Devil and Miss Prym .
It cannot be expressed in words how I felt .
There is always a churning feeling in my stomach every time I complete your book which forces me to sit & think – back & ahead .
Why don’t you write a book with Indian characters and make us feel proud .
Jayanta Ray
