disappointment from my former favorite author of all time
This book is a downer from a former spiritual master of prose. I kept thinking this will get better, but it didn't. If you want to know the truth about the fashion and film industry, you will get the dark side of reality. However,that information could have been presented without all the deaths.

Igor's kung fu
Coelho is a master writer, no question there, but for me his best works are still "The Alchemist" and "Devil and Ms Prym". The narrative in those two novels is by far the best developed. I wept by the river Piedra while I read the book with the same title, I didn't "get" the witch book named after a mushroom, I liked "Zahir" but felt it was overdone. "The Manual" is excellent and his collections of short wisdoms are just brilliant.

With "Winner stands alone", Coelho entered a new realm, usually covered by heavyweights like Umberto Eco, in which novel is made of bits and pieces of popular culture, celebrity, news, cultural theory and documentary-like material which binds the narrative. It is all a good read, but Igor is a bit overdone, from the point when he does his first "kung fu" move. I have seen (read) something like that only in Bruce Lee movies. Nice touch, but a little out of place and reads like a dead blonde that falls out of a trunk just when needed to rescue a dysfunctional part of the story. If I rated this book based on "The Alchemist", it would get no more than two stars.

However, in the sea of poorly written books, Coelho's works are a treat and each one deserves five stars. Don't miss it. For the real thing, however, cultural criticism, you have to pick up Umberto Eco's works (essays in particular).

Product Description
Abençoa e será abençoado. "Quando tinha 22 anos, comecei a me dedicar ao aprendizado da magia. Passei por diversos caminhos, andei à beira do abismo, escorreguei e caí, desisti e voltei. Imaginava que, quando chegasse aos 59 anos, estaria perto do paraíso e da tranquilidade absoluta que penso ver nos sorrisos dos monges budistas. Mas a busca da paz tem seu preço, e me pergunto: até onde estou disposto a chegar?" - Paulo CoelhoO Aleph marca a volta de Paulo Coelho às origens. Num relato pessoal franco e surpreendente, ele revela como uma grave crise de fé o levou a sair à procura de um caminho de renovação e crescimento espiritual.Para se reaproximar de Deus, o mago resolve começar tudo de novo: viajar, experimentar, se reconectar às pessoas e ao mundo. E assim, entre março e julho de 2006, guiado por sinais, visita três continentes - Europa, África e Ásia -, lançando-se em uma jornada através do tempo e do espaço, do passado e do presente, em busca de si mesmo.Ao longo da viagem, Paulo vai, pouco a pouco, saindo do seu isolamento, se despindo do ego e do orgulho e se abrindo à amizade, ao amor, à fé e ao perdão, sem medo de enfrentar os desafios inerentes à vida.Da mesma maneira que o pastor Santiago em O alquimista, o escritor descobre que é preciso ir para longe a fim de compreender o que está perto. A peregrinação o faz se sentir vivo novamente, capaz de enxergar o mundo com olhos de criança e de encontrar Deus nos pequenos gestos cotidianos. ... Read more

Coelho on pilgrimage--a coming of age tale
This is one of Coelho's earlier works. with the events described occuring in the mid-80's.I believe that it has since been re-released under a different title.Pilgrimage...I think.It is written as a narrative with the author himself as the protagonist, similar to Valkyries.In a sense, it is a tale of the author comiming of age.Admittedly, the author was in his mid-30's if not early 40's when the events take place so it is not the usual coming of age tale.Rather, it deals with the struggle for spiritual maturity.

The story describes the author's pilgrimage across nothern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, an ancient route of Christian pilgrimage in Europe.He makes the journey with a mentor who is on his own spiritual quest.Much of the book describes various adventures and tasks that the author is given as learning experiences.Through this process of overcoming the obstacles in his path the author learns the meaning of humble service, true power, and emerges a wiser and more mature person as a result.

The book contains about ten meditations and spiritual exercises that the reader can do on his or her own apart from reading the story.The exercises are quite good on their own.

This tale doesn't have quite the magical quality of The Alchemist, even though the supernatural is a subtext throughout the story.However, it offers the reader a great deal and is well worth the time spent on it.It is a good book from a great author.

Life...in simple terms
Paulo Coelho takes you through his adventure on his road to Santiago. Youfeel like you are there with him learning the practices of RAM andunderstanding life. This is one book that you tell your friends about whatyou learned. Life makes a little more sense after reading this book.

They say :"Lord, there are two swords"...
The Diary of a Magus is the best book to understand the simplicity of all things.The author,in his way to Santiago de Compostela, tell us how beautiful and simply is life, with the RAM practices, the conversation withhis guide, and all the things that he was feeling inside. In all his wayto find his sword, he teach us a lot of things, and the best of all:"Humility" I recommend you to read this book, and you willunderstand.

The book will alter the way you think.
I came to this book by random selection. I am happy that I did. There are moments i the book where the simplest explanations of things brings new light to the world around you. This could be because of a connection toyour own feelings or an epiphany. In the book Paulo mentions that teachingis illustrating that somehthing is possible, while learning is making itpossible for yourself. Paulo has shared his path toward enlightenment. Itis possible by his example. This is not some guru type, metaphysicalenlightenment that cannot be reached. It is rather something practical thateach person must face alone and find a different answer to. It is possible.

Good book for the personal visionquest!
Follow coelho and his adventures in Spain. Good exercises follow each section to help you develop along life's journey. What would it be like to have committment?What would it be like to learn about yourself in a wholenew way? This is a good book for the personal visionquest. ... Read more
