Maktub
A companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist is filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery. From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho's daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning "it is written," invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, "Maktub is not a book of advice-but an exchange of experiences." Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, "A man who seeks only the light and hands his responsibilities to others will never find enlightenment. A man who keep his eyes fixed only on the sun will end up blind." These wise tales offer the perspective of talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints addressing the mysteries of the universe. Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.Esta extraordinaria colección de parábolas e historias continúa el camino del El Alquimista para guiar a sus lectores hacia la reflexión y el autoconocimiento. Esta lectura sencilla, amena e inspiradora captará el interés de lectores de todas las edades e intereses, ya sea que busquen una continuación para El Alquimista o quieran adentrarse por primera vez en el maravilloso mundo de uno de los narradores más queridos de nuestro tiempo.
