Por el autor de El alquimista, transforma tu vida. Reescribe tu destino.
 
En su novela más personal hasta la fecha, Paulo Coelho regresa con una extraordinaria historia de autodescubrimiento. Al igual que el personaje principal de su gran novela El Alquimista, en Aleph Paulo se enfrenta a una grave crisis de fe. En busca de renovación y crecimiento espiritual, decide comenzar de nuevo: viajar, experimentar y volver a conectarse con el mundo y las personas.

Empezando en África, y recorriendo Europa y Asia en el tren Transiberiano, Paulo inicia un viaje para revitalizar su energía y su pasión. Aún así, nunca espera conocer a Hilal, una joven violinista a la que amó 500 años antes —y la mujer a la que traicionó en un acto de cobardía tan grande que todavía le impide encontrar la verdadera felicidad en esta vida. El encuentro dará inicio a un viaje místico a través del espacio y del tiempo, del pasado y del presente, en busca del amor, el perdón y el coraje necesario para superar los inevitables desafíos de la vida.
Apasionante e inspiradora, Aleph nos invita a considerar el significado de nuestras vidas: ¿Estamos donde queremos estar, haciendo lo que queremos hacer?

Algunos libros se leen. Aleph se vive.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

Another stunning novel by the author of The Alchemist.
Transform your life. Rewrite your destiny.

Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho’s beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world’s most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self-discovery.
In his most personal novel to date, internationally bestselling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, his only real option is to begin again—to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him.
Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian railroad, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before—and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life’s inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys.

About the author (2012)

Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on August 24, 1947. As a teenager, he wanted to become a writer, but his parents wanted him to pursue a more substantial and secure career. At the age of 17, his introversion and opposition to his parents led them to commit him to a mental institution. He escaped three times before being released at the age of 20. Once released, he abandoned his ideas of becoming a writer and enrolled in law school to please his parents. He stayed in law school for one year. In 1986, Coelho walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, a turning point in his life. On the path, he had a spiritual awakening, which he described in his book The Pilgrimage. Before becoming a full-time author, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist, and journalist. He wrote song lyrics for many famous performers in Brazilian music including Elis Regina, Rita Lee, and Raul Seixas. His first book, Hell Archives, was published in 1982. He has written over 25 books since then including The Alchemist, Brida, The Fifth Mountain, The Devil and Miss Prym, Eleven Minutes, The Zahir, The Witch of Portobello, Like a Flowing River, and Adultery. He received numerous awards including Las Pergolas Prize, The Budapest Prize, Nielsen Gold Book Award, and the Grand Prix Litteraire Elle. In 1996, he founded the Paulo Coelho Institute, which provides aid to children and elderly people with financial problems. In 2007, Coelho was named a Messenger of Peace to the United Nations. Paulo Coelho es autor de numerosos bestsellers internacionales que incluyen El Alquimista, El Peregrino y Las Valkirias. De sus obras se han vendido en todo el mundo más de 130 millones de ejemplares en 170 países y se han traducido a 72 lenguas. Ha recibido destacados premios y menciones internacionales.
