A missionary and a hermit meet in the desert, and in nature they begin a dialogue about their destiny; young Mogo, arrogant and presumptuous, is punished by fate for his greed; a generous child discovers, in a remote mountain village, the reward for his giving spirit; a village that has not seen rain for a long time is stirred by the hope of a miracle; a Chinese Cinderella cultivates a wonderful flower, worthy of a prince; a moth falls hopelessly in love with a star that shines in the sky and, in trying to reach it, encounters the beauty of the world.
These and other adventures spring from Paulo Coelho’s literary imagination and touch the hearts of us all.
“Every human being is granted two qualities: power and gift. Power directs a person toward their destiny. The gift obliges them to share the best of himself with others.”
A perfect gift from the alchemist of words to encourage readers to pause and reflect on the meaning of everybody’s life.
