Paul Coelho Talks The Alchemist

Posted on October 6, 2006

Internationally bestselling Brazilian author Paul Coelho has launched a blog. (You know you're an international bestselling author when your author blog appears simultaneously in five languages.)

The Alchemist is a deceptively simple tale of a shepard who sets out on a journey to make his mark in the world. Along the way, he meets many teachers, including an alchemist. It's a very spiritual book, which has been compared favorably to such classics as The Little Prince.

In celebration of HarperCollins' launch of the American version of his bestselling novel, The Alchemist, Coelho is doing a global book tour and is taking readers' questions at a live chat hosted by BeliefNet. The chat is on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, and you must register online to be able to enter.
