The Valkyries
of Paulo Coelho (Goodreads Author), Alan R. Clarke (Translator)
Description
A Magical Tale About Forgiving Our Past and Believing in Our FutureThe enchanting, true story of The Valkyries begins in Rio de Janeiro when author Paulo Coelho gives his mysterious master J., the only manuscript for his book The Alchemist. Haunted by a devastating curse, Coelho confesses to J., "IâČve seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed about to achieve them." In response, J. gives Coelho a daunting task: He must find and speak with his guardian angel. "The curse can be broken," he replies, "if you complete the task."Rising to the challenge, Paulo and his wife, Cristina, drop everything, pack their bags, and take off on a forty day adventure into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave Desert where they encounter more than they bargained for. A masterful blend of the exotic locales, dramatic adventure, and magical storytelling, for which CoelhoâČs fictional works are renowned, this true-life account is at once a modern-day adventure and a metaphysical odyssey.
