About the author

The Brazilian author PAULO COELHO was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Before dedicating his life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist and journalist. In 1986, PAULO COELHO did the pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella, an experience later to be documented in his book The Pilgrimage. In the following year, COELHO published The Alchemist. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time. Other titles include Brida (1990), The Valkyries (1992), By the river Piedra I sat Down and Wept (1994), the collection of his best columns published in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo entitle Maktub (1994), the compilation of texts Phrases (1995), The Fifth Mountain (1996), Manual of a Warrior of Light (1997), Veronika decides to die (1998), The Devil and Miss Prym (2000), the compilation of traditional tales in Stories for parents, children and grandchildren (2001), Eleven Minutes (2003), The Zahir (2005), The Witch of Portobello (2006) and Winner Stands Alone (to be released in 2009). During the months of March, April, May and June 2006, Paulo Coelho traveled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella in 1986. He also held surprise book signings - announced one day in advance - in some cities along the way, to have a chance to meet his readers. In ninety days of pilgrimage the author traveled around the globe and took the famous Transiberrian train that took him to Vladivostok. During this experience Paulo Coelho launched his blog Walking the Path - The Pilgrimage in order to share with his readers his impressions. Since this first blog Paulo Coelho has expanded his presence in the internet with his daily blogs in Wordpress, Myspace & Facebook. He is equally present in media sharing sites such as Youtube and Flickr, offering on a regular basis not only texts but also videos and pictures to his readers. From this intensive interest and use of the Internet sprang his bold new project: The Experimental Witch where he invites his readers to adapt to the screen his book The Witch of Portobello. Indeed Paulo Coelho is a firm believer of Internet as a new media and is the first Best-selling author to actively support online free distribution of his work.

Li este livro de uma assentada durante a tarde de hoje, junto ao mar, com o vento a fustigar-me o cabelo e a tentar voltar as páginas, num prenúncio silencioso da minha ânsia exacerbada de terminar a leitura (e de simultaneamente não querer que termine!).

Este libro es un buen regalo para los que gustan de Paulo Coelho, porque resume las mejores frases recopiladas de sus distintos libros, de El Alquimista, Brida, El Peregrino, El Manual del Guerrero de la Luz y Las Valquirias, entre otros.
Su edicion es bella, en tapa dura y con imágenes en acuarelas que decoran muy bien las frases, en una lectura veloz que y repleta de mensajes para el espíritu.

Una excelente y maravillosa recopilación de las mejores frases de sus mejores libros!

Nadie está a salvo de las derrotas. Pero es mejor perder algunos combates en la lucha por nuestros sueños, que ser derrotado sin saber siquiera por que se estaba luchando..... De, A Orillas del Rio Piedra me Senté y Lloré.
