I have just experienced a wonderful and enlightening love story that has moved me deeply. Indeed, Paulo Coelho's "By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept" is a must read for people who have lost, found, or still seeking for love.
I have made some references to this novel in some of my past blogs. But now, I am writing more about it on my personal realizations after experiencing this enigmatic literary work.

Thank you, Mr Coelho.
At a time when my parents and my son are dying, and can't accept love, help and support, this one paragraph in your Author's Note gave me joy and hope:
"But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to a spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all the inhibitions... They have been joyful — because...more

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" tells of Pilar, a frustrated scholar looking for some greater meaning in the endless cycle of her days. When a childhood friend contacts her, she is surprised to learn that her former playmate is now a charismatic spiritual leader, someone revered as a miracle worker. She is even more astonished when he reveals that Pilar has always been his great love. Confused by this sudden opportunity for a new chance at life, Pilar gradually comes to realize that the...more
Estreei-me nas obras de Paulo Coelho mas fiquei longe de me tornar sua fã.
Foi a primeira vez que li um livro em que não há qualquer descrição física das personagens e cheguei ao final da história sem a mais pálida ideia da sua aparência. Pode não parecer importante mas na verdade é, cada um de nós cria uma imagem a partir das descrições dos autores tornando as personagens mais reais, mais humanas. Aqui senti-me literalmente, no meio das brumas tão frequentes na história, onde os personagens não...more

B E A U T I F U L is the appropriate word to describe this novel. ;)
A Novel of Forgiveness and Self-Discovery -- what else could you possibly wish for? :p
The story could more easily be described as a story of love, as it strives to show that “true love is an act of total surrender”. At a deeper level, Paulo Coelho also gives the message that there are no rules when it comes to love. :D
The novel also shows how "TRUE-TO-LIFE-SITUATION" of love is ridiculously connected to fairy tales (as quoted fr...more

هذا الكتاب .. ولأني أعرف الكم الهائل فيه من العاطفة والحب أجلت قراءته حتى أصل اللحظة الحالية !
أحياناً .. أحس أني الكثير من التأجيل يجتاحنا .. الكثير من الشوق لأن نؤخر العلم الذي نريده يسكننا .. الكثير والكثير من اللهفة لأن نتواصل مع أنفسنا تزهر في قلوبنا ..
هذا الكتاب بالذات .. قرأته ولظرف ما قطعت قراءتي في منتصفه .. مضت أيام لمجرد ذكر كتاب على نهر بيدرا .. يتأجج الحب من جديد في قلبي .. لمجرد ذكر كلام باولو في الحب يجتاحني شعور غريب في ذكريات الهمسات والوسوسات والكلام المعسول .. لمجرد ذكرى باولو...more

That was actually a very good read. :) I think I'm starting to like Coelho. Hahaha. Sincerely, a Sparks enthusiast. It was a very light-read, and I just felt so at ease while reading it. The beginning parts of the book already caught my interest a lot, and often I was at the edge of my seat waiting for what's gonna happen next in the little love story between the main characters.
I would like to share this very tiny part in the book, that really amused me.

“By the River Piedra I sat down and wept. There is a legend that everything falls into the waters of this river – leaves, insects, the feathers of bird – is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget.”
And so the novel starts out. The most beautiful opening paragraph I’ve ever read in my life. And unless you are heartless or have never been in love, I don’t k...more

This is another book of Coelho which couldn't give me satisfaction as what The Alchemist does. I learn a lot from The Alchemist.
However, it still a nice one.
It gives proof that Coelho has a deep knowledge and skills about diverse religions, although it is clear that that He has more about Christianity. However, it might be hard for those non-Christianity readers when they read this book (this is only a guess).
Above all, I do believe that GOD has feminine face. Why I can say that? Well, we are,...more

Like a certain book collector known to wake up every morning and arrange his books, I woke up and felt that irresistible urge to fiddle with my books: check them, arrange them. It was then that I decided to spend the not so unusual evening by re-reading Coelho's book. I realized as I reached the middle that IT IS AN INTENSE BOOK. Re-reading books are always good, especially those that befuddled you at first read and leave you hanging, forever contemplating the mystery behind the lack of...someth...more
سعی کن زندگی کنی خاطره مال پیرمردها و پیر زنهاست.
خداوند هر روز لحظه ای را به مه می بخشد که در آن می توانیم هر آنجه را که ما را ناشاد می کند دگرگون کتیم.
خدا همان است، هرچند هزار نام دارد، اما آدمی باید نامی را انتخاب کند تا او را به آن بخواند.
اگر کسی ما را بخواهد همه ما را میخواهند. اما اگر تنها باشیم تنهاترهم میشویم.
این که بدانی در راه درست هستی یک چیز است اما این که فکر کنی راه درست فقط همین است، چیز دیگری است.

Sweet yet profound, as are all Coelho's works. Short and sweet—Packs a punch. This a journey story. In more ways than one. A journey of the heart, a journey for lost faith, as well as the physical journey through villages, across mountains seeking that eternal something.
This is not my favorite book of the tree that keeps leafing out, as Paulo Coelho expands his visionary ministry into the mysteries of faith, the spirit-world, and the longing of the heart. But it fits in nicely and I'm not sorry...more

A very thought provoking book about exploring the Feminine face of God and how our lives expand when we consider for a minute that 1. it is not only men who are made in the image of God, but 2. as women God also speaks in and through us and grants us access to an incredible wisdom -- if only we would embrace it.

True love is an act of total surrender.
By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept, by Paul Coelho is one of the most beautiful book I’ve ever read. It brought me to tears. It’s a short and sweet love story and yet, very meaningful and full of lessons in life and love as well. I am so deeply moved with the love story. And No, it’s not a typically just another love story about two childhood love interests going back together and pursuing their long-lost love. It’s about what real love is and the diff...more

„Sapņi prasa piepūli.” Tāds ir pēdējais teikums P.Koleju grāmatā „Pjedro upes krastā es sēdēju un raudāju.” Grāmatu izvēlējos lasīt, jo jau agrāk biju lasījusi šī autora darbus, kas mani nepievīla ne ar saturu, ne ar aprakstītajām situācijām. Nepievīla arīdzan ar dzīves vērtībām, piemēram – ticību Dievam, ticību patiesai mīlestībai un draudzībai.

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors, and The Alchemist is one of the most influential books I have ever read. I always enjoyed sharing it with my AP English students and watching them become mesmerized by his work as well.
So, I really enjoyed this love story; it is a beautiful tale of forgiveness, happiness and love restored.
