About Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho Paulo Coelho (born August 24, 1947) is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he attended law school, but in 1970 abandoned his studies to travel throughout Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, as well as Europe and North Africa. Coelho published The Alchemist, which is based on Jorge Luis Borges' Tale of Two Dreamers, which in turn was based on a tale from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best-selling Brazilian books of all time. It has sold more than 41 million copies worldwide and has been translated into some 57 languages. It is also a movie-in-progress produced by Laurence Fishburne, who is a fan of Coelho.

But in the end all religions tend to point to the same light. In between the light and us, sometimes there are too many rules.
