I'd really like to reread this one day.

[Міша Галюк · Rating 5 out of 5]

Цю книгу я читаю вдруге і щоразу знаходжу для себе щось нове . Вона легко читається , хоча ідеї , які там описуються , заставили мене задуматись не один раз . Тут автор переносить нас в цікаву і жорстоку середньовічну епоху де панує інквізиція . І розказує про тяжку долю алхіміка , який шукав мудрість. Він мав багато вчителів , серед яких був і відомий філософ Джордано Бруно.
Автор привносить в цей роман багато симовлічності , глибоких думок , розуміння єдності і сили людського духу .Мені книга дуже сподобалася , рекомендую для прочитання)

excelente libro.
Infinitamente mejor que su homonimo de cohelo, este libro esta verdaderamente pensado y dicho sea de paso tambien te invita a hacer lo mismo.
A pesar de tener un lexico poco común no lo utiliza de manera redundante (Un diccionario resulta util) y por lo tanto no es aburrido.
Desafortunadamente lo lei hace tiempo y no lo recuerdo exactamente pues perdi mi copia y es dificl de encontrar.
Pero puedo asegurar que es uno de los libros mas agradables que he leido. Por otro lado siendo atea y este una franca critica a las instituciones religiosas como tales, tal vez no sea recomendado para todo el mundo.

A very good and attractive book to read,which puts you deep into the 16th century when during that time lots of inquisition happend for the fearlessness people which expressed themselves and tried to bring light to other people.

[Margarita Gonzalez · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is about following your dream and goal and achieving it; while doing so the whole universe conspires for its happening. It's special feature is that it talks a lot about the 'Soul of the World' which attracts people towards their goals. I specialy like the View about your destiny can be crafted by your own hands if you paid attention to the signs and go for it, I also love the way "God" is introduced as a force to help you stay focus but not as letting him shaped your life with out you doing nothing. The book has received the Niels Golden book award for its outstanding sales in the retail markets of UK.

Excelente livro que nos chama a atenção para a vergonha da perseguição religiosa apenas por ter opiniões diferentes!!! Altamente crítico da Inquisição, o autor faz sobressair a abertura de espírito, a procura da sabedoria e a filosofia como factores determinantes para o progresso da Humanidade! Excelente menção a Giordano Bruno, grande pensador do Renascimento, que poucas pessoas conhecem… Livro a reler com toda a certeza!

[Semih İşcanlar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Orta Çağda özgür düşünceye yapılan baskıları, insanların içine düştüğü karanlığı, hakikatlerin gizli ama bir o kadar da burnumuzun dibinde olduğunu, ölümün bile insanı engelleyemeyeceğini ve yok edemeyeceğini, ve aydınlığın hep kazanacağını anlatan bir kitap.

Un libro fascinante, emocionante y que nos hace vivir muchos sentimientos. Giordano Bruno es y será un gran referente de la filosofía.

[Catarina Moreira · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic novel that makes you go deep into a journey to the 16th Century where the the free will to speak the truth was ultimately payed by one's life. The story takes place during the Inquisition. It speaks of the spiritual journey and the real transformation of a young apprentice to reach the spiritual Light. It also speaks the atrocities that Giordano Bruno had to go through for speaking up for what he believed. It was his philosophic and scientific theories that led to his death at the hands of the Inquisition in Rome. Bruno's death is still considered a landmark in the history of free thought and the emerging sciences.
