What this book is about
Paulo Coelho's philosophical fable is structured as a document found in Cairo that records the questions asked of a mysterious man called the Copt in Jerusalem the night before the Crusader invasion of 1099. The responses are meditations on love, beauty, defeat, courage, and solitude. Coelho writes accessible inspirational philosophy; the content is clean and the wisdom is universal. Appropriate for all ages.
