Aleph: Deluxe, Slipcased Hardcover, Signed by the Author - Hardcover
A deluxe, limited edition, slipcased hardcover, signed by the author. 1,500 copy print run.
*** Transform your life. Rewrite your destiny.
In his most personal novel to date, internationally best-selling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to begin again: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him. Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before--and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life's inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys: Are we where we want to be, doing what we want to do? Some books are read. Aleph is lived.

Review:
"A new tale of magical longing. . . . Masterful." --San Francisco Chronicle "Coelho is a novelist who writes in a universal language." --The New York Times "It's time for American readers to set out on a journey of discovery that will lead them to the works of this exceptional writer." --USA Today "[Coelho's] books have had a life-enhancing effect on millions of people." --The Times (London) "Spiritualists and wanderlusts will eagerly devour The Alchemist author's fiery diatribes about love, fear, and the search for all things meaningful." --The Washington Post
"Aleph is a book written by the soul, and for the soul. At once tender and fiercely courageous, it challenges you with an embrace while seducing you with a discerning blade that points directly at the heart of what matters most in life and death. And when you have finished the last word on the last page, even if your logical mind doesn't completely understand all that you've read, your eternal spirit will be dancing with joy." --Cecilia Samartin, author of Broken Paradise
"Vivid, captivating. . . . So engaging that readers will not want to put it down for even a fraction of a second. As the author sets out on his journey, the reader gets the sense that, he too, is embarking on the same voyage." --The International Herald Tribune "[A] chimerical tale. . . . There's no better author to serve such a work than Coelho." --Publishers Weekly
"Enigmatic. . . . An illuminating book." --The National
"Borges set the standard that Coelho capably upholds. . . . Coelho the writer is both discerning and revealing of Coelho the protagonist, whose enthusiasms we share." --The Washington Independent Review
