false <![CDATA[The Valkyries]]> 4006 18 <P>A Magical Tale About Forgiving Our Past and Believing in Our Future </P><P> The enchanting, true story of <i>The Valkyries</i> begins in Rio de Janeiro when author Paulo Coelho gives his mysterious master J., the only manuscript for his book <i>The Alchemist.</i> Haunted by a devastating curse, Coelho confesses to J., "I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed about to achieve them." In response, J. gives Coelho a daunting task: He must find and speak with his guardian angel. "The curse can be broken," he replies, "if you complete the task." </P><P> Rising to the challenge, Paulo and his wife, Cristina, drop everything, pack their bags, and take off on a forty day adventure into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave Desert &#22519;here they encounter more than they bargained for. A masterful blend of the exotic locales, dramatic adventure, and magical storytelling, for which Coelho's fictional works are renowned, this true&ndash;life account is at once a modern&ndash;day adventure and a metaphysical odyssey. </P> 2260900 1995 The Valkyries total:1769|5:310|4:461|3:576|2:309|1:113| 1769 5853 2571 130 5 3 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 00:54:08 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 00:56:38 -0800 2008
