The Alchemist: Why Paulo Coelho's bestseller was never made into a film

Ойын-сауық

The fact that Paulo Coelho's bestseller did not also become a blockbuster was not due to a lack of offers from Hollywood.

    I am re-reading this book. I was first a young principal of 33 and now I am divorced father of two pushing 50. This book is helping me revisit and re-shape my personal legend. Coelho's words mean more to me now, because it is easier to give up when you are middle age and believe your best days are behind you...

    The irony of his book, where he preached perseverance and how the night seems darkest before dawn, flopped at first. He practiced what he preached and thus succeeded.

    Yes I know how you feel it's like in the wrong hands it's not normal. the book is so perfect and there is absolutely no way to improve the perfection . And it's like if you want to do a job do it yourself that is another saying we have around where I am from. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

    How much did Paulo Coelho's relatives look at Paulo Coelho's work and success? People focused in their own work, self-reflection, creative or noble thoughts may be too busy to notice how envious other people were. Do people think his family and relatives seemed to felt any relatively appearing smarter or worthier when they hospitalized Paulo Coelho right before his salary job and a career as a writer? Did unnecessarily hospitalizing someone harmed the brain functions, symbolic or whatnot appearances, and immediate karma of any of those who wronged and tricked the victim? I would doubt any words of any relative of such a famous writer since in one of his interviews as he was told to be hospitalized by his own family immediately before he worked at a temporary non-literary job before a continuous career as a writer. Do people know the real reason behind why an ambulance with a siren on will park on a road for hours during the morning rush hour time?😼-With respect

    He made a post on facebook last year about that. It's not that they felt smarter, they really thought he had mental problems because of his behaviour and way of thinking. His parents never forgave themselves, no matter how much he told them that he already forgave them. The book "Veronica decides to die" is about himself. Sometimes simple and good people can make big mistakes just because of their lack of knowledge. Not other conspiracy.

    It's a one time good read. I didn't find any real life lesson in it either. But one thing it says is to be tenacious in achieving your goal.

    You can understand this book only if you suffered a lot in your real life. I have read it in highschool and didn't understand the meaning. But now, after certain events in my life, it has a lot of meaning and it became really important to me.

    Too many people are existing as slaves and they revere the invisible chains they wear/ They survive for a period of time and they die pitiable fools/ George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 is literature that truly educates the reader on the dreadful, ghastly realities and ideologies of soulless people of the lie/
