Las Valkirias
, 2010
Un hombre y una mujer, motivados por una busqueda espiritual, viajan hacia la aridez y el supuesto vacio del desierto de Mojave. A lo largo de cuarenta dias, rodeados de dudas y tentaciones, entraran en contacto con sus mas intimos conflictos y cuestionamientos. Paulo Coelho advierte que este ha sido un libro dificil de escribir porque revela episodios y sentimientos de su propia vida; porque dudaba poder narrar esta historia y porque marca la fragil distancia entre la tradicion magica a la que pertenece y el hombre que realmente es. «Una nueva guerra va a comenzar, de la cual nadie podra escapar. Veremos dos ejercitos. De un lado quienes todavia creen en la raza humana, en los poderes ocultos del hombre, y saben que nuestro siguiente paso esta en el crecimiento de los dones individuales. Del otro lado estaran los que creen que la vida termina en la materia.» Подробнее

That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well-or hardly at all. Among them: «People create a reality and then become the victims of that reality. Athena rebelled against that-and paid a high price.» Heron Ryan, journalist «I was used and manipulated by Athena, with no consideration for my feelings. She was my teacher, charged with passing on the sacred mysteries, with awakening the unknown energy we all possess. When we venture into that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.» Andrea McCain, actress «Athena's great problem was that she was a woman of the twenty-second century living in the twenty-first, and making no secret of the fact, either. Did she pay a price? She certainly did. But she would have paid a still higher price if she had repressed her natural exuberance. She would have been bitter, frustrated, always concerned about 'what other people might think, always saying, 'I'll just sort these things out, then I'll devote myself to my dream, always complaining 'that the conditions are never quite right.'» Deidre O'Neill, known as Edda Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy, and sacrifice.
