Publisher 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?

The Valkyries
Paulo Coelho has written a book of his odyssey in the desert in search of spiritual fulfillment. It is a very deep, very special type of story that will mean different things to different people. For those who are religiously inclined, it's precept of God, angels and the afterlife will resonate soundly. For those agnostics, it may just be a fantasy that does not mean much. I am of the former camp, and found this story very interesting, spiritual and uplifting. It must have been a very spectacular experience for the author, and I thank him for bringing it to light.
The Valkries
Thought provoking novel as we all search for proof of our angels and miracles. When we are given proof we desire more and we either seek it as a hunter or farmer. I believe we can be both at different times in our lives. We all question our path and relationships as we proceed down the path of life. It is human to make mistakes. It comforts me to know all is done in divine order, wisdom and timing. It is up to us to learn the lessons. I have to read this book again and again as I believe it shares more each time in terms of tips to enlightenment. Muito obrigado para escrever-lo.
