Aleph

In his most personal novel to date, Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. In the vein of The Alchemist, he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth. Setting off to Africa and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian railroad, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. During this time, he meets 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.
