Description
A work that holds an important place in Paulo Coelho's literary canon, The Pilgrimage introduced the celebrated author to the readers everywhere, not only paving the way for his phenomenal masterwork to come , the Alchemist, but fully expressing for the first time is humanist philosophy and the depth of his humanist philosophy and the depth of his unique search for meaning. Here Coelho details his journey across Spain along the legendary road of San Tiago, which pilgrims have traveled since the Middle Ages. On his contemporary quest, he encounters a truly Chaucerian variety of mysterious guides and devilish opponents and learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life.
" Coelho's writing is beautifully poetic but his message is what counts."
