Synopses
"In this autobiographical tale, we follow Coelho and his wife Chris on a 40-day spiritual journey through the Mojave Desert in search of the eternal feminine. Translation has an uncertain feel and suffers from too much editing, pruning, and rearranging of the original as well as occasional misreading"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Publisher's Notes
A Magical Tale About Forgiving Our Past and Believing in Our Future The enchanting, true story of The Valkyries begins in Rio de Janeiro when author Paulo Coelho gives his mysterious master, J., the only manuscript for his book The Alchemist. Haunted by a devastating curse, Coelho confesses to J., "I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed about to achieve them." In response, J. gives Coelho a daunting task: He must find and speak with his guardian angel. "The curse can be broken," he replies, "if you complete the task." Rising to the challenge, Paulo and his wife, Cristina, drop everything, pack their bags, and take off on a forty day adventure into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave Desert--where they encounter more than they bargained for. A masterful blend of the exotic locales, dramatic adventure, and magical storytelling for which Coelho's fictional works are renowned, this true-life account is at once a modern-day adventure and a metaphysical odyssey.

Wizards and Sorcerers
by Tom Ogden
Tablets from seventh-century B.C. Nineveh document the ancient Assyrians' ritual use of "holy water", their belief in the power of the number seven, and their fear of the "evil eye" - all notions still familiar to us 27 centuries later. Wizards and Sorcerers is filled with examples of how present-day magic is rooted in ancient occult practices and of how its age-old influence crosses a broad spectrum of disciplines, including science, religion, and the arts. In this spirited A-to-Z compendium, author Tom Ogden distills his lifelong fascination with magic, fantasy, and the occult into a useful, compelling, and well-researched guide to a subject that permeates our culture - whether "high" or "low". In Wizarzds and Sorcerers readers will find entries illuminating past and present practices of wizardry, sorcery, and magic from cultures around the world, as well as extensive references to magic as a theme in ballet, theater, literature, and popular culture. Further enriching the text are nearly 100 illustrations, many from the author's private collection, and some never before published, and a useful index.
