After his initiation into a mystic order called RAM, Paulo Coelho is told he must make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela to recover a sword that will prove his readiness as a master. He is guided by Petrus, who teaches him exercises in perception and willpower along the way. The account moves between ordinary roadside encounters and encounters with spiritual presences, as Coelho wrestles with doubt, pride and the idea of fulfilling one's personal destiny.
It will interest readers of spiritual autobiography and people planning to walk the Camino. Fans of Coelho's novels will find the seeds of his later ideas here, with a personal account of the trip that led him to write The Alchemist.
Inward-looking; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
