    <![CDATA[<p>Here Paulo Coelho details his journey across Spain along the legendaryroad of San Tiago, which pilgrims have travelled since Middle Ages. On this contemporary quest, he encounters a Chaucerian variety of mysterious guides and devilish opponents and learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life. <em>The Pilgrimage</em> holds an important place in Paulo Coelho's literary canon.His first book, it not only paved the way for his phenomenal novel <em>The Alchemist </em>, but it also fully expresses his humanist philosophy and the depth of his unique search for meaning.<em> </em> </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>For me, this book was slower...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17743772">more...</a>]]></body>
