MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN ACCRA Hardcover – 1 January 2013

You know, I just wanted to read a book, and I came across wisdom of a lifetime. Though short, the book comes with a jar-full of Wisdom and truths. Coming from the best-selling author of "the Alchemist" , its a worthwhile read even if you are not the quintessential Coelho fan. Simple, yet pleasing, its beautiful philosophy that Coelho presents to us in this marvelous work of wisdom. So much wisdom, philosophy and truths, but yet an interesting work, not a page which leaves you disheartened. And not a page that leaves you un-inspired.

A short read.. If you looking for the meaning for life, then go for it without second thought.Why it is must read.1.lucid writing.2. Inspirational and motivating.3. A short read.Thank you.

This is a book which combines wholesome, everyday living advice with deeper, spiritual insights. Like all good books, this slim volume can be read at two different 'levels' - for guidance on handling everyday issues, and for a tantalizing peek into the 'deeper realm' of mind and soul. Not a groundshaking experience, it gently prods one into looking at the right places for inspiration.

An amazing read ! Speaking about life and it’s challenges it’s opens your heart and clears your soul! Thank you for this.

Very nicely written.Some of the things written in the book were an eye opener... Thank you Paulo.

This book of Paulo Coelho is very different from his other books. Specifically the writing style which I assume is because of the book being a sort of translation of the wisdom from the manuscripts. The book definitely conveys a lot of wisdom that can be readily applied to our modern day practical lives as well. I specifically liked the one in which the Colt speaks about what kind of people to choose for your friends. However, what I felt missing was the Paulo Coelho touch in it. It felt like I was reading a book that was written by someone else and Coelho was narrating the story. I missed you in the book my dear Paulo Coelho. As you are my favorite writer. All the best.

A great book by Paulo. Talks of about courage, love, war etc. Gives a new perspective and hope. This is very short book, buy words are very powerful and meaningful. I reread this book every month to inspire myself.

Paulo Coelho's one of the best works probably. It will force you to do some self thinking. Also the language is quite easy and a very lucid writing style.
