The Pilgrimage



World bestseller in new format

In 1986, Paulo Coelho sets out for the pilgrimage towards Santiago de Compostela.

"In those days my spiritual quest was linked to the idea that there were secrets, mysterious ways, and people capable of understanding and controlling things which would be unavailable to most mortals. I thought that what leads us to grasping the mystery of life, must be difficult and complicated."

This journey becomes a truly initiatory experience, and Paulo is transformed for ever as he learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life: he learns that "the extraordinary is always found in the way of the common people."

As a writer, he devotes himself to show, in a plain and fluid style, the richness of our inner reality with the intention of sharing his experiences with all of us. Thus, The Pilgrimage has a very important place in the work, not just because it is the first of his major books, after which came The Alchemist, but because of the complete way in which it expresses the humanity of Paulo's philosophy and the depth of his search.
