Coelho, Paulo The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
HarperSanFrancisco May 10, 1995 0-06-250218-2 / 9780062502186 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: This inspirational fable by Brazilian author and translator Coelho has been a runaway bestseller throughout Latin America and seems poised to achieve the same prominence here. The charming tale of Santiago, a shepherd boy, who dreams of seeing the world, is compelling in its own right, but gains resonance through the many lessons Santiago learns during his adventures. He journeys from Spain to Morocco in search of worldly success, and eventually to Egypt, where a fateful encounter with an alchemist brings him at last to self-understanding and spiritual enlightenment. The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams. The cumulative effect is like hearing a wonderful bedtime story from an inspirational psychiatrist.

Coelho, Paulo The Valkyries
Harper Collins USA 2004 0-06-073628-3 / 9780060736286 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: There is enough interest in angels to ensure this peculiar little book a significant audience. It traces a spiritual journey of sorts, stereotypically cast as a journey into the desert, that embodies a New Age conception of liberation as liberation from the past in confrontation with oneself. The "ritual that demolishes rituals," which is the climax of the book, is all done with mirrors. As Simone de Beauvoir would note, the "mirrors" are women--and that calls into question both the "newness" of the story and the "age" it heralds. But it is a strange tale many will find compelling.

Coelho, Paulo The Zahir: A Novel of Obsession
HarperCollins August 23, 2005 0-06-082521-9 / 9780060825218 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A highly collectible first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wra pper. The press chat cites 65 million copies of Coelho's eight previous novels in print, making the Brazilian author one of the world's bestselling novelists (150 countries and 56 languages). This book, whose title means "the present" or "unable to go unnoticed" in Arabic, has an initial staggered laydown of eight million copies in 83 countries and 42 languages. It centers on the narrator's search for his missing wife, Esther, a journalist who fled Iraq in the runup to the present war, only to disappear from Paris; the narrator, a writer, is freed from suspicion when his lover, Marie, comes forward with a (true) alibi. He seeks out Mikhail, the man who may be Esther's most recent lover and with whom she was last seen, who has abandoned his native Kazakhstan for a kind of speaking tour on love. Mikhail introduces the narrator to a global underground "tribe" of spiritual seekers who resist, somewhat vaguely, conventional ways of living. Through the narrator's journey from Paris to Kazakhstan, Coelho explores various meanings of love and life, but the impact of these lessons is diminished significantly as they are repeated in various forms by various characters. Then again, 65 million readers can't be wrong; the spare, propulsive style that drove The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes and Coelho's other books will easily carry fans through myriad iterations of the ways and means of amor.

Coelho, Paulo The Zahir: A Novel of Obsession
Harper Perennial July 3, 2006 0-06-083281-9 / 9780060832810 Paperback Fair
readable heavy creasing stain to cover, no markings throughout: Subtitled A Novel of Obsession, this tale is the philosophical and spiritual chronicle of one man's quest for self-discovery. Stunned by his wife's inexplicable disappearance from their Paris home and immediately suspected of foul play by the authorities and the press, the unnamed protagonist, a best-selling writer, is forced to reexamine both his marital relationship and his own life. What he eventually discovers with the help of a -mysterious stranger named Mikhail--a man he suspects is somehow involved in Esther's disappearance--is that he must first "find himself" before he can ever hope to find his wife. Although Esther is physically and emotionally lost to him, he rediscovers her as he retraces both her footsteps and the disintegration of their visceral connection. Finally able to release the past and his anger, he can accept the uncertainty of the present by traveling to Kazakhstan with Mikhail in search of Esther and the remote possibility of resurrecting a dormant love. As in The Alchemist (1993), Coelho continues to prove himself a contemporary fabulist, spinning irresistible stories while seeking enlightenment at the same time. Interwoven with details drawn from his life, the mesmerizing narrative offers a highly personal meditation on the meaning and the power of love.

Coelho, Paulo Witch of Portobello
HarperCollins Publishers April 2007 0-06-134995-X / 9780061349959 Paperback Fine
Multimillion-seller Coelho (The Devil and Miss Prym, etc.) returns with ano ther uncanny fusion of philosophy, religious miracle and moral parable. The Portobello of the title is London's Portobello Road, where Sherine Khalil, aka Athena, finds the worship meeting she's leading-where she becomes an o mniscient goddess named Hagia Sophia-disrupted by a Protestant protest. Fra med as a set of interviews conducted with those who knew Athena, who is dea d as the book opens, the story recounts her birth in Transylvania to a Gyps y mother, her adoption by wealthy Lebanese Christians; her short, early mar riage to a man she meets at a London college (one of the interviewees); her son Viorel's birth; and her stint selling real estate in Dubai. Back in Lo ndon in the book's second half, Athena learns to harness the powers that ha ve been present but inchoate within her, and the story picks up as she acqu ires a "teacher" (Deidre O'Neill, aka Edda, another interviewee), then disc iples (also interviewed), and speeds toward a spectacular end. Coelho veers between his signature criticism of modern life and the hydra-headed altern ative that Athena taps into. Athena's earliest years don't end up having mu ch plot, but the second half's intrigue sustains the book.

Coelho, Paulo Zahir, The: A Novel of Love, Longing and Obsession
HarperCollins 2005 0-00-721362-X / 9780007213627 Paperback Near Fine
With more than 30 million copies sold, "The Alchemist" is one of the best l oved and bestselling books in the world. "The Zahir", Paulo Coelho's new no vel, is a perfect follow-on to "The Alchemist". Paulo picks up the theme of the pilgrimage but tells a very different, gripping story of love, loss an d passionate obsession. It begins with a glimpse or a passing thought. It e nds in obsession. One day, a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Though time brings more s uccess and new love, he remains mystified - and increasingly fascinated - b y her absence. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their m arriage? The unrest she causes is as strong as the attraction she exerts. H is search for her - and for the truth of his own life - takes him from Fran ce to Spain, Croatia and, eventually, the bleakly beautiful landscape of Ce ntral Asia. More than that, it takes him from the safety of his world to a totally unknown path, searching for a new understanding of the nature of lo ve and the power of destiny. With "The Zahir", Paulo Coelho demonstrates no t just his powerful and captivating storytelling, but also his extraordinar y insight into what it is to be a human being in a world full of possibilit y.
