Having sold over 165 million copies of 30 books, Paulo Coelho is one of the best-selling authors of all time. His works have been translated into 80 languages and published in more than 150 countries around the world. THE PILGRIM tells the amazing and true journey of Paulo Coelho's life that turned him into a writer of tales millions of people all over the world enjoy. The main source of inspiration for Paulo Coelho's work is his own life. The author of 'The Pilgrimage' and 'The Alchemist' is, no doubt, a celebrity, but only few know that the story of his life is even better than fiction. Paulo flirted with death, escaped from madness, experimented with drugs, overcame torture, suffered and smiled for love, made Rock and Roll History in Brazil, but never gave up on his biggest dream: to triumph as a writer.
