The Pilgrimage: A Contemporary Quest for Ancient Wisdom

Product Information

Obviously I'm being facetious, and Coelho intended to say that one should follow their dreams no matter what, even if it transcends a nice, content life, so long as you are in pursuit of a life that would be even greater than you can ever imagine, sacrificing what is good now for what can be great later. But he did so in an extremely simplistic way, and the revelation of the Santiago's treasure being literally treasure was a major disappointment. Perche non leggerlo durante il cammino, mi sono chiesto? Ho acquistato l'ebook e pian piano l'ho (faticosamente, molto) letto. Its not that I find anything wrong with these messages. They are important, but must be balanced with responsibility. In my experience, 'following your dreams' (or personal legend) is not the only way toward wisdom and strength. Is the person who struggles to put food on the table every day for his or her family, consciously realizing that he or she may not be following his or her 'personal legend' any less heroic than some traveler who leaves everything and everyone he or she is responsible for to go on a spiritual quest? Coelho comes close to labeling such people, as losers in life, which I find completely off the mark as some of these people have the most to offer in terms of wisdom. Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. Sai has one ambition and that is to find a way to manifest the subtle explosion of life within her. Little did she know that her crush on music and the English language during her school days would eventually blossom into a full-blown love affair. Albeit an MBA in marketing, she also wishes to be recognised for her creative expression. She has, hence, decided to groom herself as a writer, singer, music composer and lyricist. If you think she appears calm and composed, she has got you fooled.

The Pilgrimage: A Contemporary Quest for Ancient Wisdom

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. Much of the story is hidden within allegory, so if you aren’t willing to deal with Coelho’s magical realism, this can be a difficult book to get through. For me, it served as an interesting companion to my own trip down the Camino—I found myself a much stronger person (physically and emotionally) than I realized I was. There were some truly eerie moments on my walk that I couldn’t really explain, which I think attests to Coelho’s work and the magic of the Camino. I didn’t have a guide the way Coelho did, but I found that walking with my mother caused me to re-think where I was in my life and the role we played in each other’s. My mother had served as a guide all my life, but in the end, I finished my walk alone.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.
