The Brazilian author PAULO COELHO is considered one of the most influential authors of our times. His books have sold more than 165 million copies worldwide, have been released in 170 countries and been translated into 80 languages. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter and journalist. His collaboration with Brazilian composer and singer Raúl Seixas gave some of the greatest classic rock songs in Brazil. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote 'The Pilgrimage', an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his career. In the following year, COELHO published 'The Alchemist'. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time.Other titles include 'Brida' (1990), 'The Valkyries' (1992), 'By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept' (1994), the collection of his best columns published in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.

المراجعة التحريرية
A touching, if overexplicit, fable about learning to live in the face of death. As he confides in an early chapter, Coelho himself (The Fifth Mountain, 1998, etc.) was apparently institutionalized simply because his adolescent behavior baffled his parents. Here, he returns to the world of mental hospitals indirectly via Veronika, a Ljubljana librarian whotired of the fact that, at 24, she already finds every day like every other and cant imagine any future but increasing boredom, decay, and deathtakes an overdose of sleeping pills. She awakens in Villette, Slovenias notorious lunatic asylum, to learn that shes damaged her heart irreparably and has only a week to live. Initially rebelling against her keepers solicitous rules and regulations (``I'm not here to preserve my life, but to lose it, she reminds a nurse), she finds first her curiosity and then, gradually, her passions aroused by her fellow patients. Serbian Zedka Mendel, lacking a necessary brain chemical, endures megadoses of insulin that send her into comas. Mari, a lawyer who committed herself because she was suffering from panic attacks, has been asymptomatic for years but, divorced and forced into retirement, has nothing left to return to. Eduard, a schizophrenic whose case seems most like Coelhos, is an ambassadors son who ended up in Villette after rejecting a diplomatic career to paint. Regrettably, however, Coelho, preaching the need to live your own life in the face of death and social regimentation, cant resist capping these often poignant stories with sanity-is-the-true-madness insights out of R.D. Laing and prosy homiletics (Its what you are, not what others make of you) that seem to have been cribbed from a high- school health textbook. Imagine peering into the very heart of the mystical rose in Dantes Paradise and finding the neon injunction: TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. -- Copyright ©2000, Kirkus Associates, LP.
