about this 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 entit...more |

event: The Experimental Witch
date: July 25, 2008 10:00AM location: World, France description: Throughout my career as a writer, I've met people that trusted me without knowing me well and they have helped me, enabling me to follow my dreams. I've been visiting the pages of readers this last year and I've seen excellent works by actresses & actors, musicians, directors, etc. That's why I thought: why not make a movie together? I would retain the rights of the film based on my latest book The Witch of Portobello while developing this partnership.

Dear Paulo,
What is your favorite children's story and does it perhaps now connect to where your personal legend has led you as an adult? I'm doing a little curious research that the narratives we love as children say a lot about how we will become in our hearts as adults or how we choose to serve...
I think I'm on my path but I worry...Seeing your heart gives me hope. Thanks for being my book friend, I hold those close to my heart. Books are sacred food to me. Much Love,
Martine
Dear PAULO

Hi Paolo, I was expect to see you in Rome on Mondialodo School Contest grand final cos I was read that you're one of the jury member and I'm a bit dissapointed you're not there. Why you're not there? I'm very inpire by your book the alchemist.
