Many of you might have heard about the The Alchemist…AN interview of the author in the TOI article here:
Paulo Coelho was sent to a mental institution at the age of seventeen. He was kidnapped and tortured because he believed in free expression. Then he walked the Road to Santiago, a journey which changed his life and continues to change the lives of millions. In an e-mail interview to Indiatimes News Network, the author says that he is still searching himself…
And some interesting questions:
You believe that “what matters most to the author is the honesty with which a book is written”: Honesty to the self, the reader, the subject or all the three?
Honesty to yourself. Writing is sharing yourself as you are, not to please others.
What does love personally mean to you?
Heaven with a pitfall to hell in the middle of it.
I think I will like his writing…
As Ortega Y Gasset once said “I am myself and my circumstances”. I can only speak about what I’ve been through, my story… not conjectures.
