How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of who we are? That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all.

Additionally, I never want to read him ever again. See, Coelho is a master in the art of pseudo-philosophy. Rather than presenting an interestin...
This is my first Paulo Coelho, and perhaps it's not his best. It's a little too heavy-handed with the mother-goddess storyline, and never quite reconciles the witchy characters' apparent divinity with their human failings--they are arrogant and irritating, and we don't ever really get to see why the...
So being a reasonably intelligent person, I would expect that I would have learned my lesson before this, but apparently I did not. I read The Alchemist because it was so highly recommended and didn't like it and then I read Aleph because it was supposed to be non-fiction and I expected more, but I...
