About this ebook
Transform your life. Rewrite your destiny.
In his most personal novel to date, internationally best-selling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to begin again: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him.
Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet 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. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life’s inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys: Are we where we want to be, doing what we want to do?
Some books are read. Aleph is lived.
This eBook edition includes an excerpt from Paulo Coelho's Manuscript Found in Accra and a Reading Group Guide!

I'm glad I read it but overall it was pretty weird. I couldn't relate to the main character. He tends to be rude to people when they don't share his views of the world. He's so sure that his way is right and that's not usually a good quality in a person. I love The Alchemist and now I know to stop there. Yao was cool though.

I can honestly say that I have never read a book that transformed my view of my life, love, travels and human connections as this one has. Aleph was well written with a storyline so potent that I could put the book down until I completed it! Highly recommended for those spiritually adventurous souls out there! #peace and #love.

I'm giving it five stars and will go to bookstore to buy,it sounds a little like a Richard Bach novel but no one is Richard Bach plus this isn't your intellectual metaphor book.But I do believe in the recycling of life.I hope it's not a book made for housewives I'll be disappointed.I'll be back after I read it.
