An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist , filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery. From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub , meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, ‘ Maktub is not a book of advice―but an exchange of experiences.’ Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, ‘a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.’ In these wise tales akin to Zen koans and other mysteries of the universe, there are talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints. Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

Arrived well.
The book arrived in good condition. However, the dust jacket fit is quite poor and inconvenient.

The book has so many answers.
Don't read it like a regular book. Read it one page at a time.

Filled with spirituality that ground you in wisdom
Filled with spirituality and parables that ground you in wisdom. Coelho's writing can be anchored in mystery and so it takes wisdom to read with understanding. If you want perfect alignment and wisdom in understanding your inner being this is the book that will guide you to deal with life.

Gorgeous addition
Great hard cover edition with a beautiful cover. It did come with a slight fold on the cover but I kept it as Amazon did not guarantee the same hard cover edition as a replacement. Worth it.

I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who wants to read how following your dreams and not being so hesitant will get you where you need to be

I really appreciate it
I was afraid at first because I knew you can't recreate the Alchemist experience but what he has done is write experiences side by side that allow you to reflect on what you have learned since you first read the Alchemist. It is surprising how much wisdom is here and how it can revive the first notions I had from him in the Alchemist and Warrior of light. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel which I appreciate it just takes me back to why I needed to read Paulo Coelho in the first place.
