PAULO COELHO'S WEB WORLD

One of Paulo Coelho's passions – as well as a self-declared addiction – is the Internet. This is a channel that enables him to be in direct contact with his readership, something that has always been very important to him. In his own words:

"Readers are my treasure". Unlike pop stars or theatre actors, the only way the author can interact with his audience is through his various websites or at book-signings.
