Aleph by Paulo Coelho (Epub)

Description

In his most personal novel to date, internationally best-selling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to begin again: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him.

Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before—and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life. Together they will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, traveling a path that teaches love, forgiveness, and the courage to overcome life’s inevitable challenges. Beautiful and inspiring, Aleph invites us to consider the meaning of our own personal journeys: Are we where we want to be, doing what we want to do?

⭐ First off, as a descendant from a Russian family, I now have to visit Russia – I just had to say that. Secondly, why does Mr. Coelho have to end these journeys – why? Between this one and also The Pilgrimage (also by the great Paulo Coelho) we are taken on a journey and you are pulled in like you are floating in the air watching the journey happen – a fly on the wall – and you learn all of these things about life and you get to see yourself in many of them – and you see a new view of this world – and then the journey ends, and each time I cry for days and I can’t pick up the next book in his bibliography and I feel lost. I know that this means that I have my own travels and journey’s to go on, but with Mr. Coelho’s journeys and books, I feel like I am going on a trip with a someone that wants to hold my hand through it all and the lessons – some of them harder than others – and make sure that I, the reader, am taken care of and protected and safe while experiencing things I would never had otherwise.Oprah once said that she raised millions of children from her talk show – and that is true – but I am here to tell you, Mr. Coelho is raising millions and millions of humans – and good humans at that with a book like Aleph and all of his other works. And we are all the better for it.

⭐ This was the first Paulo Coelho novel I have read. I found it interesting, but tedius. I had not known about the term, aleph, before and found the concept very thought provoking. The young woman in the book feels more like a groupie than a deep character. As far as spiritual insightful-ness…..his preoccupation with “fixing” the past belied any deep recognition/acknowledgement of the fact that the past is truly over. He does pay “lip service” to this, but it stops there.

⭐ Are you experiencing a gnawing sense of discontent in your life? Feeling unhappy with the state of your reality? Then, this book might be good for you to read. For those who’ve been on a personal and spiritual development path for some years, much of this book will simply be a reminder to reconnect with your soul, to once again discover what brings joy and new life to your existence.This book was a quick and flowing read that provided great imagery, which easily transported me into the world and interactions of the characters. A story dominated by universal themes of life, death, rebirth, the cycles of change, shifting perspectives, worlds, and dimensions…how we and all of life are in a constant state of being changed into another form.As a woman, I particularly applaud and very much appreciate how the central character was able to transmute/channel his desire and attraction for a young woman in a way that allowed him to recognize, experience, and move through hot desire, while honoring his commitment to his wife. I wish more people would realize that we don’t have to live out transient and fickle bodily desires in physical reality. We do indeed have the ability to accept the strong and compelling forces that arise within us and to then act consciously in the best interest of all present or absent parties involved.I did feel as if the book contained a bit of “navel-gazing.” Some readers may be put off by the strong theme of “past lives.” However, ultimately there were some beautiful and moving lines within the text and an overall story that helped inspire me to get out of my routine and embark on some new adventures in my own life.

⭐ Tuesday, December 27, 2011, from my blogspot.. Aleph, by Paulo CoelhoWhen you read Coehlo, you go on a soul journey. This is not one of his best books, in my estimation, but I stuck with it, and came away with the best way to describe life to young people who are still learning.the hard way. His analogy of a train is a wonderful way to describe to young people the way life is. Imagine life as a train and a train car you are riding in, any time you want to change that car, it is within you to be able to get up and walk into the next car, and the next car and so on. What a good way to say it! You can choose your car, your travel mates, etc. Books like this , which cause us to examine our lives are a wonderful way to relax and try to understand the why and what of life. They often help you to analyze what is happening and why you are bringing sad events into your life, that you can control by your choices.Can we all go on a long journey in real life and discover the answers to our questions, I think not. The train trip is also an analogy of life itself, as a long journey, that leads us to meet people, and someone in that crowd of people, if we give him or her time to know us , has answers for our soul, if we want to stop and try to discover , try to understand, etc. How often will any of us ever get this opportunity? Maybe never in this life time, and then maybe through introspection you realize that someone was a motivator in your life, sacrificing his or her own life to give you a lesson that awakens your soul. Maybe this is hard to understand, but I tried in my book to say this, under cover of stories from different people, about events that happened in their lives.So, if you want to spend some time with your soul try a little Coelho.Madlyn Fafardauthor, “Secrets of the Heart”

⭐ While I’m a big fan of Paulo Coehlo and consider The Alchemist to be one of my favorite books, I have mixed feelings about this story. As is usual with this writer, he interweaves a fascinating story of trying to find himself while on a book signing trip across Russia and has a chance meeting with a young girl who he knew in a previous life and who he had had hurt very badly…I found that interesting, but this really is a book for religious adherents who believe in reincarnation. He writes about standing in a place where everything is one and his life experiences flash before his eyes. He also describes an exercise to get to this “special place” and then puts an advisory or disclaimer that this practice shouldn’t be followed. However there were some very thought provoking passages that would appeal to everyone, but I really didn’t enjoy it as much as his other books…I found it a bit self-serving…but his diehard fans will probably love it.

⭐ Paulo Coehlo returns to form in this very personal and autobiographical exploration of love and forgiveness. A period of spiritual darkness and a meeting with his long time teacher convince Paulo to reengage in the spiritual quest. A pilgim in every sense of the word, Coelho engages on a frenetic world tour in an attept to reengage his spiritual energies. A meeting in Moscow proves to be the critical juncture, and a journey across Russia on the Trans-Siberian railroad the journey that leads Coehlo back to spiritual engagement and allows him to forgive and be forgiven.As with many of Coelho’s books, this one is full of esoteric references and deep spiritual meaning that may be read in many layers and with several levels of meaning. Throughout, the reader is challenged by both the content and context of the story to engage the broader limits of what they may deem to be physically and pschologically possible. In so doing, the true meaning of love, forgiveness and release are revealed.If you are a Coehlo fan, you will find this book to be another great work by a compelling and extremely engaging author – and candidly it is one of his better works – and represents a return to the writing style that appeared somewhat lost in his last couple novels. If you haven’t been exposed to Coehlo before, you may want to start with The Alchemist or some of his earlier works before diving in to this one – as that approach will give the reader the best chance to get the message Aleph contains.

⭐ I love most of Paulo Coelho’s books, and this one was no exception. I generally do not read his books for the story line; i read them for the deep thoughts/words of wisdom he writes about or learns through his life experience. His books are always interesting to read, and sometimes downright weird. You have to look past that and read his books with an open mind; if you don’t, you will end up focusing on the weird/off stuff he writes about and completely miss the underlying messages. I liked the Aleph because i got to learn what the “aleph” is, bits of wisdom on life, love, universal connection, past/present/future… whether you believe anything he writes or not, it is always interesting to hear how someone can experience life in a completely different way than what is considered the “norm.”

⭐ The second book I read from Paolo, and I was swept away by the presentation of the stories within this work and the feelings behind the characters realities. Paolo works within layers of spirituality and discovery of self and purpose with several characters who you get to know and try to understand throughout the book, but soon realize that this understanding is fluid and coming to that realization is part of the journey.

⭐ New inspiring idea of how we understand & overcome a negative pattern that keep going in life. Found the details of the love story lengthy & boring but otherwise enjoyed reading & listening to this book

⭐ As “The Alchemist” is one of my all time favorite works, I was fascinated by how its author – Paulo Coelho – could arrive at what for me was a very dark vision in “The Winner Stands Alone”. So when I learned that Mr. Coelho had a new book out … I pounced on it in hopes that it would supply an answer to my conundrum. I was not disappointed. In sharing a portion of his intimate and personal journey … he reminds us of the fundamental quest-like nature of this life – a lesson well understood by the boy – Santiago. In reminding us of the 3rd person objectivity that living life well oft requires … we are also reminded that in this life … there are no good guys and no bad guys. We are all good guys and bad guys. And therein is the key that unlocked the mystery of “The Winner” for me.
