Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:
Un hombre y una mujer, motivados por una búsqueda espiritual, viajan hacia la aridez y el supuesto vacío del desierto de Mojave. A lo largo de cuarenta días, rodeados de dudas y tentaciones, entrarán en contacto con sus más íntimos conflictos y cuestionamientos.
Paulo Coelho advierte que éste ha sido un libro difícil de escribir porque revela episodios y sentimientos de su propia vida; porque dudaba poder narrar esta historia y porque marca la frágil distancia entre la tradición mágica a la que pertenece y el hombre que realmente es.
"Una nueva guerra va a comenzar, de la cual nadie podrá escapar. Veremos dos ejércitos. De un lado quienes todavía creen en la raza humana, en los poderes ocultos del hombre, y saben que nuestro siguiente paso está en el crecimiento de los dones individuales. Del otro lado estarán los que creen que la vida termina en la materia". --Paulo Coelho
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A classic masterwork of spiritual tension and realization from Paulo Coelho, this powerful story of one man's battle with self-doubt and fear is now available in a beautiful new package from HarperOne.
An essential volume alongside Coelho's other bestselling and influential books, such as The Alchemist, The Pilgrimage, Brida, and The Winner Stands Alone, the searing and unforgettable narrative in The Valkyries asks the questions most central to all literature--and all of humanity's quest for understanding. Why is it that we destroy the things we love most? And how can we learn to let go of the past and believe in the future?

Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on August 24, 1947. As a teenager, he wanted to become a writer, but his parents wanted him to pursue a more substantial and secure career. At the age of 17, his introversion and opposition to his parents led them to commit him to a mental institution. He escaped three times before being released at the age of 20. Once released, he abandoned his ideas of becoming a writer and enrolled in law school to please his parents. He stayed in law school for one year.In 1986, Coelho walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, a turning point in his life. On the path, he had a spiritual awakening, which he described in his book The Pilgrimage.
Before becoming a full-time author, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist, and journalist. He wrote song lyrics for many famous performers in Brazilian music including Elis Regina, Rita Lee, and Raul Seixas. His first book, Hell Archives, was published in 1982. He has written over 25 books since then including The Alchemist, Brida, The Fifth Mountain, The Devil and Miss Prym, Eleven Minutes, The Zahir, The Witch of Portobello, Like a Flowing River, and Adultery. He received numerous awards including Las Pergolas Prize, The Budapest Prize, Nielsen Gold Book Award, and the Grand Prix Litteraire Elle. In 1996, he founded the Paulo Coelho Institute, which provides aid to children and elderly people with financial problems. In 2007, Coelho was named a Messenger of Peace to the United Nations.
