Description
“Like the Flowing River” is a compilation of tales, opinions, short stories and ideas drawn from articles published by Brazilian writer Paulo in various international newspapers. Seven years of reflections, journeys and meetings: the revelation of a fascinating philosophy of life. A brilliant collection cleverly written with passion and humor.
Coelho’s simple words and subtle philosophy encompass reflections on solitude, the art of love or the way to become an archer, to parables on man’s struggles and journey through life. His mission is to observe human beings; what they are and how they are, rather than what they want to be or pretend to be. Coelho’s writing is timeless: thoughts on books and libraries and belonging to a technological age sit alongside an awareness of the value of an ordinary pencil. Appealing to a wide audience, this is inspirational non-fiction from the one of the world’s greatest writers.
Paulo Coelho is an enchanting storyteller, inspiring people all over the world to see beyond the ordinary and into the remarkable. He is considered one of the most influential authors of our times. Born in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1947, Paulo Coelho is the author of some of the most read titles of our time, such as “The Pilgrimage” or “The Alchemist”, the book which made him internationally famous. But also, Paulo Coelho has written many other books which have touched the hearts of people around the world.
He is member of the Academy of Letters of Brazil since 2002 and Messenger of Peace by the United Nations since 2007. In 2009 he received the Guinness World Record for the most translated author for the same book (“The Alchemist”). Also, he is the writer with the highest number of followers in the social media.

“This path took me to many places and caused me to change countries more often than I changed shoes, as Bertolt Brecht used to say. The pages that follow contain accounts of some of my own experiences, stories other people have told me, and thoughts I’ve had while travelling down particular stretches of the river of my life”.— Paulo Coelho (“Like the Flowing River”).

⭐ Absolutely love this book!! So glad I was able to find it. I’ve been looking for it since apparently it is a hard to find book. One of the best of Paulo Coelho’s works.
⭐ This book reads like a blog, but it is full of wisdom. Any fan of his should have this in their reading lists. Offers intimate anecdotes as well as a sneak peek behind the scenes into his life as a writer. Best thing I’ve read so far in 2019.
⭐ I love this Paulo Coelho collection in one book: Like the Flowing River: Thoughts and Reflections. You see, I am a person who loves inspiration in my day every day. I love to concentrate on the good and be grateful, and I am grateful for this book. Paulo Coelho you did it again. And thanks for the great service by the seller. Awesome.
⭐ Contrary to the reviews of the people…I might differ on this one! I found this an ok read…little spiritual…though I must compliment the author for bringing certain thoughts that we might have encountered at some point of time and penning it down quite superbly.Having said that…the book has certain chapters which are beautifully written and my favourites beingThe importance of repetitionThe story of pencilHow to climb mountainsGenghis khan and his falconManuel is an important manTravelling differentlyThe importance of cat in meditationThe story of sand and duneThe third passion
⭐ I have read several of Mr, Coelho’s books and have enjoyed them all. This one is short stories and while I really enjoyed most of them some of them – I at least – could do without. Still a very good read and worth the money.I will continue to my next Coelho book!
⭐ Really great book to carry on you if you are taking a train ride or have to wait somewhere, or even if you just pick it up throughout the day and enjoy with some tea. Short, beautiful, thought-provoking reads. Paulo Coelho is such a treasure.
⭐ The book was purchased as a present and did not turn up after the due date. World of Books USA accepted the problem, resent the book and this did arrive. The recipient sent a note to us that says “.. thank you for “Like the Flowing River”. I just got it yesterday and have read a few pages. It is clear already that I will thoroughly enjoy this book! I love the short story format and their messages. I am looking forward to reading more tonight and … every time I pick it up.
⭐ Paulo never dissappoints. I recommend his books (because i’m currently on my 4th) to someone who is spiritual or looking for a different perspective in their lives. It’s for the deep thinkers out there! This book inparticular has several short stories so it’s easy to just pick up and read in between breaks at work or during your lunch. Enjoy!
⭐ Coelho has such great insight into life. His writing conveys so much wisdom and food for thought that each of the stories is inspirational.Some more than others , but none the less you begin to feel his connection with God and nature after reading his words
⭐ I am sure that although I have read many of P. Coelho’s works, I will return to these stories, and share with others the simple but profound stories held within this book. Cud os PC for mastering the telling of love and kindness. You inspire me!
