Book Reviews of The Pilgrimage: A Contemporary Quest for Ancient Wisdom
Book Review: Source of inspiration
Summary: 4 Stars
This book does not necessarily contain any "answers", apart from the author's own personal revelations. What it DID do, for me, was to plant a seed. While I didn't agree with all of the religious content, I did appreciate the undertaking of a spiritual journey. This book opened my eyes to the incredible value of the self-discovery that comes from making such a trek. Two years after my first reading, I followed in the footsteps of Paulo Coelho and so many millions of other pilgrims, and made the same journey myself!
This is not a book about the Camino de Santiago, as much as it is a story about the power and importance of self-discovery. And while I wouldn't consider it a very useful guidebook for the Road to Santiago, I certainly have found it to be a great source of inspiration on the Road of Life. To anyone else who, after reading this book, is thinking about walking the road to Santiago, ?Ultr?a, y buen camino!
Summary of The Pilgrimage: A Contemporary Quest for Ancient Wisdom
Here Paulo Coelho details his journey across Spain along the legendaryroad of San Tiago, which pilgrims have travelled since Middle Ages. On this contemporary quest, he encounters a Chaucerian variety of mysterious guides and devilish opponents and learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life. The Pilgrimage holds an important place in Paulo Coelho's literary canon. His first book, it not only paved the way for his phenomenal novel The Alchemist , but it also fully expresses his humanist philosophy and the depth of his unique search for meaning.
