The Zahir, Paulo Coelho's new novel, is a perfect follow-on to The Alchemist. Paulo picks up the theme of the pilgrimage but tells a very different, gripping story of love, loss and passionate obsession. It begins with a glimpse or a passing thought. It ends in obsession. One day a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Though time brings more success and new love, he remains mystified - and increasingly fascinated - by her absence. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their marriage? The unrest she causes is as strong as the attraction she exerts. His search for her - and for the truth of his own life - takes him from France to Spain, Croatia and, eventually, the bleakly beautiful landscape of Central Asia. More than that, it takes him from the safety of his world to a totally unknown path, searching for a new understanding of the nature of love and the power of destiny. With The Zahir, Paulo Coelho demonstrates not just his powerful and captivating storytelling, but also his extraordinary insight into what it is to be a human being in a world full of possibility. 保羅·科埃略一九四七年出生於里約熱內盧市一個中產階級家庭，少年時期便立志成為像若熱·亞馬多一樣成功的職業作家。在從事文學創作之前，曾擔任過編劇、劇場導演和記者，為巴西最著名的搖滾樂歌星創作過《減生於一萬年之前》等六十餘首歌詞。後沉迷於研究鍊金術，魔法、吸血鬼等神秘事物，作為媒皮士週遊世界，與一些秘密團體和東方宗教社會有過接觸。一九八二年自行出版了《地獄檔案》一書，但未曾引起任何反響。一九八五年又出版《吸血鬼研究實踐手冊》一書，但後又收回，理由是他本人認為該書“質量低劣”。一九七七年，在週遊世界時他參加了一個名叫拉姆的天主教組織，一九八六年，按該組織的要求，保羅·科埃略沿中世紀三條朝聖路線之一，歷時三個月，徒步行走近六百公里
