Author(s): Paulo Coelho

Fiction

In 2006, Paulo embarked on a Trans-Siberian pilgrimage across the terrain of his readership as he sought to reconnect with his waning spirituality.

Joined by Hilal, a determined and enigmatic young girl with a compelling history, and a reluctant entourage of publishers, translators and assistants, Paulo experiences an unexpected divine awakening - the Aleph - with Hilal.

Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins.

A search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life .

Each end gives us the opportunity for a rebirth.

Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho′s beginnings. Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, Paulo decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa and Asia, he will again meet Hilal - the woman he loved 500 years before - an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself.

What you do in the present will change the future.
