Warrior's Life Biography of Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho is a worldwide phenomenon. At a time when he is coming up to the fantastic achievement of 100 million copies sold worldwide across all his books, his fans will be delighted with the first ever official biography of Paulo, an in-depth look at his life and work, and what makes him the much-loved author he is today. Paulo's first official biographer, Fernando Morais, provides an exhaustive look at Paulo's fascinating and varied life, taking several years to research his subject, and interviewing everyone who knows Paulo. He weaves together the strands of Paulo's life, revealing the man behind the world-famous writer. Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 1947. Before he became internationally known and a worldwide bestseller, he had to overcome many obstacles. As a teenager, he was subjected to the brutality of electric shock treatment in the psychiatric hospital where his parents, who took his rebelliousness as a sign of madness, interned him three times. As a member of the esoteric underworld, he was put in prison for alleged subversive activities against the Brazilian dictatorship and subjected to physical torture. Later, Paulo joined forces with rock star Raul Seixas and together they composed songs that revolutionized Brazilian rock music. Hippie, journalist, rock star, actor, playwright, theatre director and producer of television programs, this whirlwind life came to an end in 1982, during a trip to Europe. In Dachau and later in Amsterdam, Paulo had a mystical meeting with "J", his new mentor, who persuaded him to walk the Road to Santiago de Compostela, a medieval pilgrim's route between France and Spain. In 1986 Paulo walked the Road to Santiago, and it was there that he reconverted to Christianity and found again the faith bequeathed to him by the Jesuit fathers of his school years. He would later describe this experience in his first book, The Pilgrimage. The following year, The Alchemist, established his worldwide reputation. The novel has already achieved the status of a universally admired modern classic. Now, for the first time, discover the true story of the man behind some of the world's most loved books.

Jak se duše stala tělem
Kniha Jak se duše stala tělem je pozoruhodný, dosud nepopsaný příběh vyprávějící o dramatickém historickém zvratu - vzrušujícím objevu funkce lidského mozku. Carl Zimmer, nositel literárních cen, vypráví nevídaným způsobem o objevování tajemství mozk
u v Anglii 17. století, příběh, který se odvíjí ve smrtící perspektivě občanské války, moru a velkého londýnského požáru. Na počátku tohoto bouřlivého století nikdo nevěděl, jak mozek funguje, nikdo neměl ponětí, jak vypadá v nedotčeném stavu. Na kon
ci stejného století věda o mozku zapustila kořeny. Pomohla překonat většinu běžných mylných představ a převládajících filozofií týkajících se lidí, Boha a vesmíru. Vůdčí osobností růstu tohoto nového vědeckého paradigmatu byl zakladatel moderní neuro
logie Thomas Willis, fascinující, sympatická, dokonce i heroická postava, střed mimořádné skupiny vědců a filozofů známé jako Oxfordský kroužek. Kniha je kronikou barvitě popisující zásadní objevy a často krvavé experimenty, které zprvu popisovaly mo
zek jako chemický stroj rozumu, emocí a šílenství, ve skutečnosti však jako vlastní sídlo duše.
Zimmer, kterého New York Times nazvaly nejlepším vědeckým esejistou, kterého máme, vypráví příběh této vědecké revoluce prostřednictvím životů pestrého
společenství alchymistů, mystiků, utopistů, špiónů, revolucionářů a králů. Oživuje náboženské, etické a vědecké střety provázející průkopnické pitvy mozku prováděné Thomasem Willisem; objev krevního oběhu, za který vděčíme Williamu Harveyovi, včetně
Harveyova útěku z Londýna společně s králem Karlem I.; Reného Descarta pronásledovaného za jeho pohled na mozek a duši jak katolíky, tak protestanty; experimenty i osobní dramata nadaných lidí, kteří navždy změnili způsob, jímž se dělala věda, přičem
ž současně převrátili náš pohled na lidské já i na naše místo ve světě.

Nesmrteľný alchymista
Veríte na čary a kúzla? Myslíte si, že je možné, aby sedemstoročný alchymista žil vo vašom susedstve? A zápasili ste už s golemom?... Že nie? Tak si to skúste predstaviť... Sophie a Josh Newmanovci, pätnásťročné dvojčatá zo San Francisca, by sa ešte nedávno nad týmto otázkami tiež neveriaco usmievali. Ich životy sa však zmenia vo chvíli, keď sa ocitnú uprostred súboja prastarých síl Dobra a Zla. Na jednej strane stojí slávny alchymista Nicholas Flamel, ktorý celé stáročia opatruje vzácnu knihu a tajomstvo večného života... a toho sa chce zmocniť armáda temných síl na čele s rafinovaným čarodejníkom Johnom Deem. Kľúčovú úlohu však majú v tomto zápase zohrať spočiatku nič netušiace dvojčatá - pradávne proroctvo hovorí, že práve oni majú moc zachrániť alebo odsúdiť k zániku svet a ľudstvo v jeho dnešnej podobe... Ktorá časť legendy sa teda naplní?!

Le Zahir
The press chat cites 65 million copies of Coelho's eight previous novels in print, making the Brazilian author one of the world's bestselling novelists (150 countries and 56 languages). This book, whose title means the present" or "unable to go unnoticed" in Arabic, has an initial staggered laydown of eight million copies in 83 countries and 42 languages. It centers on the narrator's search for his missing wife, Esther, a journalist who fled Iraq in the runup to the present war, only to disappear from Paris; the narrator, a writer, is freed from suspicion when his lover, Marie, comes forward with a (true) alibi. He seeks out Mikhail, the man who may be Esther's most recent lover and with whom she was last seen, who has abandoned his native Kazakhstan for a kind of speaking tour on love. Mikhail introduces the narrator to a global underground "tribe" of spiritual seekers who resist, somewhat vaguely, conventional ways of living. Through the narrator's journey from Paris to Kazakhstan, Coelho explores various meanings of love and life, but the impact of these lessons is diminished significantly as they are repeated in various forms by various characters. Then again, 65 million readers can't be wrong; the spare, propulsive style that drove The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes and Coelho's other books will easily carry fans through myriad iterations of the ways and means of amor."

Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu
Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu je rozmarná poviedka, ktorá nám dá vzácne ponaučenie: šťastie k nám nepríde len tak samo od seba - musíme mu vytvoriť podmienky, aby sme ho pritiahli. Jednoduchý a dojímavý príbeh priateľov z detstva Maxa a Jima sa začína v Central Parku v New Yorku, kde sa náhodou stretnú po päťdesiatich rokoch. Max prežil úspešný život, Jim, bohužiaľ, nie. Tajomstvo Maxovho úspechu spočíva v príbehu, ktorý mu kedysi dávno rozprával starý otec. Jeho príbeh pripomína Coelhovho Alchymistu a ukazuje, ako sa chopiť príležitosti a dosiahnuť v živote úspech. V prekvapujúcom závere sa poviedka vracia späť na začiatok a okrem podmanivého príbehu ponúka čitateľovi inšpiráciu i návod na získanie šťastia.

Encyklopédia snehu
Krátko po letnej búrke, ktorá minulý týždeň nečakane postihla predmestie Buffala, sa našlo opustené auto. Patrilo Sarah Emily Mianovej, ktorá sa nedávno vrátila do rodného mesta. Polícia objavila v kufri auta zviazaný rukopis s názvom Encyklopédia snehu, autorkou je pravdepodobne Mianová, aj keď sa zdá, že na ňom spolupracovala s neidentifikovaným švajčiarskym alchymistom, ktorý sa celý život venoval skúmaniu snehu. Polícia hľadá ďalšie stopy v nezvyčajnom dokumente, ktorý na základe historických i fantastických príhod rozpráva o veľmi zvláštnom vzťahu dvoch ľudí. Prípadné informácie o mieste pobytu Mianovej, bývalej kuchárky, šoférky turistického autobusu, súkromnej detektívky v západnej časti štátu New York a absolventky University of East Anglia v Anglicku oznámte policajnému oddeleniu v Buffale, telefónne číslo (716) 694 600.

The Scarlet Alchemist
You cannot create good without also creating evil.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her.
A dark YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Infinity Alchemist
Ash Woods isn’t supposed to perform alchemy – he’ll be arrested if anyone ever finds out. But when he’s caught by the condescending Ramsay Thorne, instead of handing him over to the reds, Ramsay surprises Ash by making him an offer: Ramsay will keep Ash’s secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source, a sacred text that gives its reader extraordinary power.
As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists – Ash’s estranged father included. Ash’s journey takes him through the cities and wilds across New Anglia, forcing him to discover his own definition of true power and how far he and other alchemists will go to seize it.
Fans of Cemetery Boys and Iron Widow will love this LGBTQ+ romantasy reminiscent of A Deadly Education meets Six of Crows.
Maktub
An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist, filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery.
From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, ‘Maktub is not a book of advice?but an exchange of experiences.’
Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, ‘a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.’ In these wise tales akin to Zen koans and other mysteries of the universe, there are talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints.
Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

Pages & Co.: The Book Smugglers
Fourth in the modern-classic and bestselling bookwandering series for readers aged eight to twelve that celebrates all that is best in life: books, adventure, friendship - and cake.
Milo lives on board the Sesquipedalian, or "Quip" - a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both Story and the real world. The train is owned by Milo's uncle, Horatio, and Milo has witnessed many of his uncle's dodgy dealings as a book smuggler trading in rare books.
When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job, he needs the help of Tilly Pages. And Tilly owes Horatio a favour. But when poisoned copies of The Wizard of Oz are sent to Horatio and Tilly's grandfather, sending them both into deep sleeps, Milo and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them - and to figure out what is going on.
Their journey takes them to the Emerald City with Dorothy, rocketing on the unruly Quip, and eventually to Venice in Italy, in pursuit of the mysterious Alchemist. The very essence of imagination, story itself, may be in danger . . .
