Las valkirias / The Valkyries by Paulo Coelho

Un hombre y una mujer, motivados por una b squeda espiritual, viajan hacia la aridez y el supuesto vac o del desierto de Mojave. A lo largo de cuarenta d as, rodeados de dudas y tentaciones, entrar n en contacto con sus m s ntimos conflictos y cuestionamientos.

Paulo Coelho advierte que ste ha sido un libro dif cil de escribir porque revela episodios y sentimientos de su propia vida; porque dudaba poder narrar esta historia y porque marca la fr gil distancia entre la tradici n m gica a la que pertenece y el hombre que realmente es.

Una nueva guerra va a comenzar, de la cual nadie podr escapar. Veremos dos ej rcitos. De un lado quienes todav a creen en la raza humana, en los poderes ocultos del hombre, y saben que nuestro siguiente paso est en el crecimiento de los dones individuales. Del otro lado estar n los que creen que la vida termina en la materia. --Paulo Coelho

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A classic masterwork of spiritual tension and realization from Paulo Coelho, this powerful story of one man's battle with self-doubt and fear is now available in a beautiful new package from HarperOne.

An essential volume alongside Coelho's other bestselling and influential books, such as The Alchemist, The Pilgrimage, Brida, and The Winner Stands Alone, the searing and unforgettable narrative in The Valkyries asks the questions most central to all literature--and all of humanity's quest for understanding. Why is it that we destroy the things we love most? And how can we learn to let go of the past and believe in the future?

The life of PAULO COELHO continues to be the principal source of inspiration for his books. He's flirted with death, evaded crazy, dabbled with narcotics, endured torture, studied philosophy and religion, read voraciously, lost and rediscovered his faith, and experienced the pain and pleasure of love. He has discovered answers to the issues that everyone experiences while searching for his own place in the world. He believes that we all possess the essential strength to determine our own fate. Adultery, his most recent work, was a international bestseller.

His 1988 novel The Alchemist has sold over 65 million copies and has been hailed as an influence by Malala Yousafzai and Pharrell Williams, among others. Paulo Coelho's books have sold over 200 million copies worldwide. His work has been translated into 81 languages, making him the most widely read living author on the planet.
