From Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, comes a poignant, richly poetic story that reflects the depth of love and life. Rarely does adolescent love reach its full potential, but what happens when two young lovers reunite after eleven years? Time has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader. She has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts. Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fraught with difficulties, as long-buried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyrenees, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.… (més)
Tijdens een reis van een week door de Pyreneeën ontmoet Pilar, een studente uit Barcelona, een jeugdvriend van wie zij altijd is blijven houden. Deze vriend koestert gelijke gevoelens voor haar, maar zijn probleem is dat hij op het punt staat zich tot priester te laten wijden. Via deze aangrijpende liefdesgeschiedenis toont Coelho ons de vrouwelijke kant van God. Dit prachtige boek werpt een ander licht op de kracht van de liefde en de ervaring van het spirituele. (flap)
Lettura scorrevole, ci sono interessanti riflessioni sui casi e sul senso della vita ma la storia purtroppo non lascia nulla a mio avviso, se non un certo senso di incompletezza. L'autore rompe alcuni dogmi divertendosi a rielaborare e fantasticare su questioni profonde, lo fa in realtà con una certa superficialità. È un romanzo, certo, ma il risultato detrae alla stessa storia che alla fine diventa così una storiella banale e superficiale. Mi riservo eventualmente di leggere altri libri dell'autore per capire se è il suo stile che non mi piace o se è questo racconto che è riuscito male. Peccato veramente, tra l'altro, per i continui riferimenti biblici usati in modo deviato per fare interpretazioni e allusioni dissolute. ( )
es la historia de Pilar y un amigo de su infancia, que es ahora seminarista, con el cual se reencuentran y vuelve a nacer el amor, solo que ahora se expresa de una forma distinta. Ellos inician un viaje desde España y se dirigen al Santuario de Lourdes.

For I. C. and S. B, whose loving communion made me see the feminine face of God; for Monica Antunes, my companion from the beginning, who with her love and enthusiasm spreads the fire all over the world; for Paulo Rocco, for the joy of the battles we have fought together and for the dignity of the battles we have fought between us; and for Matthew Lore, for not having forgotten a sage quotation from the I Ching: "Perseverance is favorable."

Every day, God gives us the sun - and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist - that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists - a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perfom miracles.
