What are you expecting other than a spiritual journey from this book? Well it is his journey across Spain's Road in order to find himself. Something that I've heard and seen in a movie [Darjeling Limited:] but I supposed I haven't had the chance to conduct it. Or I might have lacked a courage to begin it!
Of all the exercises he introduces, the Speed Exercise dumbfounded me. The minute I read the exercise, it reminds me to the regular road I have anytime I go and back from work. There's one old m...more

I enjoy every book by Paulo Cuelho that I've read (12 to date) and this one, his first, has touched me in tha same way the Alchemist did. Perhaps it's the common theme of searching for a way a path a meaning and the fact that I can empathise strongly with the sentiment, having walked that exact road to Santiago. The mysticism in some of the events of the journey, with hindsight, are a bit too far of a step for me personally but the whole journey of the pilgimage to Santiago and the learning and...more

رواية ( حاج كومبوستيلا ) هي ثالث عمل لباولو كويلو, والتي صدرت عام 1987؛ أي قبل عام واحد فقط من صدور أشهر رواياته ( الخيميائي ). عمله الأول كان ( أرشيف الجحيم ) وقد نفد ولم تُعد طباعته حتى الآن, والعمل الثاني له هو ( الدليل العملي للفامبيرية ) وقد سُحب لأنه بدا لكويلو أن العمل لم ينجح في إيصال رسالته.

It’s my first English novel and I’ve truly enjoyed it. A book which, even it’s not the best of Paulo Coelho, you can not stop reading when you start it thanks to his nice and sweet style.
First of all, let’s consider how we would categorize The Pilgrimage. It’s a journey of a piligrime and It’s also a personnel developpement book which you need it along your life. Paulo Coelho takes the road of Santiago de Compostela in order to find his sword, looking for his secret therefore he takes the true...more

This was given to me by a friend who knew I was planning to do the Camino, so naturally I was excited to receive it. I had never read anything by Coelho prior to this and now I know why. It starts off well enough with some insights about why we travel and the child-like quality of discovery involved in travel. Based on that I thought I was in for a treat.
However, this book is a pile of fiction-lies, pseudo spirituality written for disaffected house wives and divorced middle aged librarians who w...more

It's difficult to write a review of this one. It completely depends if you feel attracted to the book and the story.
It gives the reader an awful lot to think about. This is not a book you can fully understand after one time reading.
There are a lot of uncommon 'events' in it. Liking, or loving it depends highly - I think - if you have a religious background.
There are quite a number of excises in the book you can practice. I certainly are going to work with several of them.

This is the 4th Paulo Coelho book I've read, and my least favorite so far. Not that there's anything wrong with it, per se, but I can definitely see his evolution as a writer from this, his 1st, and The Witch of Portobello, his most recent and one of my faves.
For me, this book was slower, less relatable (if only because very few people are on this kind of a mystical quest) and just less smoothly written overall. I also had a hard time sympathizing with the protagonist.

“A dazzing tale of the road traveled by ordinary people.” Coelho's book traverses the story and journey of a man (himself) learning to be extraordinary through the paradoxical beauty of simply understanding what is ordinary.
What struck me as I gobbled up this book in a mere afternoon was the easygoing cadence and accessibility of language that Coelho employs throughout his book; he doesn't try to dazzle you with vernacular or prose, it's simply inherent in the story itself. And to me, that's t...more

Nesdílím vůči Coelhovi takové to určité opovržení části čtenářské obce, že je laciný spisovatel pro masy, jehož úspěch je postaven na jednoduchosti. Popravdě jsem doteď četl jen jeho Alchymistu a v tom jednoduchém a líbivém příběhu jsem toho našel spoustu - jasně, není to žádná Citadela. Ale jak Coelho sám řekl v Poutníkovi, proč přestat dělat věci jen proto, že je někdo udělal líp?

Peccato che per la prima parte del libro non ho fatto che domandarmi: “ma di che cosa sta parlando”? Solo ad un certo punto mi sono resa conto che non stavo leggendo semplicemente la “folle” esperienza vissuta o immaginata da Coelho piena di riti, apparizioni, strani personaggi e animali misteriosi. In realtà leggendo attentamente – e per attentamente intendo con la mente sgombra da pregiudizi – ti accorgi che il libro è un insieme di frasi, concetti e significati nascosti apparentemente banali,...more
Why did I choose to read this book? Well, I enjoyed reading "The Alchemist" and "The Devil & Miss Prym" in 2003 and saw this tale by the same author. The phrase "ancient wisdom" appealed greatly to me. It was based on the author's experiences during his own pilgrimage through northern Spain in search of his "sword". He was a member of the "Tradition" and the "Order of RAM - Regnum, Agnus, Mundi or: Rigor, Adoration and Mercy". I have a thing for ancient, secret orders and knights that take v...more

When I first reached on to this book, I wasn't having any high hopes since the last Coelho's book I read (The Winner Stands Alone) disappointed me just that much.
But then I started reading its first page and easily got drowned into the beautiful journey that Coelho described in words. I started being brought back to the days when I had The Alchemist and The Zahir on my palms, I remembered the exact same thing that happened to me back then, happened to me again: I couldn't stop turning pages.

As I prepare to walk the Camino de Santiago with my daughter, I am reading a few of the better selling books about this 1000-year-old pilgrimage route to the cathedral town of Compostela in northwest Spain. One of the first that pops up on Amazon is by Paulo Coelho, the much-published, much-translated Brazilian author whose most popular title, The Alchemist, is a New Agey book-club favorite in the United States.
Coelho's book about the Camino, The Pilgrimage (1988), is about as New Agey, or gno...more

We lazen met de boekgrrls eerder dit jaar de Alchemist van Coelho, dat vond ik een mooi boekje, daarom nam ik dit mee uit de bieb. De ondertitel luidt: dagboek van een magiër. Daardoor werd ik even op het verkeerde been gezet, ik dacht dat het wellicht een fantasy-achtig verhaal zou zijn, zoals de alchemist een beetje sprookjesachtig was.

Ok, I had promised myself, not to read any more books by Paolo Coelho, but I've become a victim of first my curiosity to read one of the most well-known books about the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela which I've done myself just three months ago and secondly of clever book marketing: The volume I own is beautifully bound in blue with pigeons, shells and the cathedral of Santiago, all in all very hippyish and thus kind of irresistible to me.

Was at the Moores Cancer Center for a routine blood test, getting the SmartPort flushed, and fortune smiled. I get a nurse I've never had before, Caroline Sanchez. And we have this incredible conversation. She's drawing my blood, flushing my port and reciting her own poetry. She got published while working for the Institute for Palliative Medicine. We begin to talk about the books that have made a difference for us, and she asks if I've ever read "The Pilgrimage." She said it was the book that c...more
It's rare to find an author who stars as the main character in his own book (at least in such an obvious way), and even more rare to find it carried out with complete humility. I'm sorry to say that I couldn't quite dispell the hint of Paulo's arrogance from my mind while reading, even though he puts up a good fight. It was somewhat of a distraction.
He has an important life experience to share, and chooses to share it in the way he is most gifted to tell. The problem was, for me, that a lot of...more

The story shows that love can make us stronger and it is this strength that allows us to make the right decision at the right time. The search of truth is assimilated to a personal search for meaning, for the things that we need in life such as truth, agape, enthusiasm, and spirituality.
And some striking statements that help us in our lives:
"Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside you."
"We are only able to be kind to ourselves when we need severity."

I really hated this book. In fact, it is the second worst book I've ever read (first being the Voyage of Somebody the Sailor). The story made no sense, and key parts of it were left unexplained (what is RAM? what is The Tradition?). I suppose you might get some philosophical value from it, but I didn't really think any of it was earth-shattering or even worth a raised eyebrow. The only redeeming quality was that it was short and went quickly.

Paulo tidak mengira bahwa dia harus jauh-jauh terbang ke Eropa untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang sangat diinginkannya, yaitu Pedang Sang Magi. Kedatangannya ke Eropa tersebut membawanya ke sebuah perjalanan melalui jalan yang di abad pertengahan dikenal sebagai Jalan Misterius menuju Santiago. Dan perjalanan itu bukanlah sebuah perjalanan biasa, tetapi sebuah perjalanan ziarah yang suci bagi umat Kristiani. Dengan ditemani pemandunya yang misterius bernama Petrus, Paulo melakukan perjalanan sejauh...more

I was a little torn between the 3- and 4-star rating on this one. I definitely "really liked it" with respect to what I needed to read right now in my life. When I saw the slim book on the first set of sale books at my local library, my eyes immediately went to it and I knew I needed to read it right now. It sounds a little kooky - but I've had this happen several times where books come to my attention at the right time, in the right place. I can't clearly explain why I felt like I needed this k...more

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.
