Paulo Coelho

When I decided to write Adultery, some publishers were very preoccupied with the theme and title. I spent a long time trying to convince them that this was the book I want and need to write (the same situation happened before, with “11 Minutes”). I took my risks and moved ahead, knowing that they could be right as far as the market is concerned, but I was right as far as my heart is concerned.

So it is time to thank you my readers, for the strong support the book received everywhere – making all the bestseller lists in all countries (a snapshot of some lists below). There is no better promotion than word-of-mouth, and I am glad you helped me.

Some of you decided not to buy it because of the title – I understand and respect your decision (by the way, the book is NOT about encouraging adultery, but the opposite) . As I am sure that you also understand my attitude in writing things that are relevant to me as a human being committed to always be honest in my work.
love
Paulo
