The new novel by the author of The Alchemist.

Aleph marks a return to Paulo Coelho's beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story one of the world's most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self-discovery.

Facing a grave crisis of faith and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth Paulo decides to start over: to travel to experiment to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe Africa and Asia he will again meet Hilal the woman he loved 500 years before an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space through past and present in search of himself.

Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.
