The Pilgrimage

By Paulo Coelho

About the book

In this gripping story, Paulo Coelho is on a quest for the ultimate in self-knowledge, wisdom and spiritual mastery. Guided by his mysterious companion Petrus, he takes the road to Santiago, going through a series of trials and tests along the way, even coming face to face with someone who may just be the devil himself. Why is the road to the simple life so hard? Will Paulo be strong enough to complete the journey towards humility, belief and faith? The Pilgrimage paved the way to Paulo Coehlo’s international best-selling novel The Alchemist. In many ways, these two volumes are companions – to truly comprehend one, you must read the other. ‘One of the few to deserve the term “publishing phenomenon”’ Independent on Sunday
‘His books have had a life-enhancing impact on millions of people.’ The Times
‘His writing is like a path of energy that inadvertently leads readers to themselves, toward their
mysterious and faraway souls.’ Le Figaro
‘Coelho’s writing is beautifully poetic but his message is what counts… he gives me hope and puts a
smile on my face.’ Daily Express
