Paulo Coelho – “The Devil and Miss Prym”
|
Paulo
Coelho is one of the most celebrated writers of our time. Born in Brazil, Coelho
is a storyteller with the power to inspire nations. His best selling
novel, The Alchemist has been translated into 59 languages. A
stranger arrives in the small mountain village. He carries with him a backpack
containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. Burying these in the vicinity,
the stranger strikes up a curious friendship with a young woman from the
village -- Miss Prym. His mission is to discover whether human beings are
essentially good or evil. In this stunning new novel, Paulo Coelho's unusual
protagonist sets the town a moral challenge from which they may never
recover. A fascinating meditation on the human soul, The Devil and Miss Prym
illuminates the reality of good and evil within us all, and our uniquely
human capacity to choose between them. |

Robin Sharma – “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”
|
“The
monk who sold his Ferrari” is a tale, which provides an approach to living
a simple life with greater balance, strength, courage and abundance of joy.
The fable format is a refreshing change from the tiresome listing of all the
good things we could do for ourselves but do not. It makes the message being
conveyed linger in our minds. Although most of the principles dealt with can
be found in countless other books on self-help and spirituality, there is a
difference in the way of Sharma has put things together. |

Paulo Coelho – “The Zahir”
|
The
Zahir, Paulo Coelho's new novel, is a perfect follow-on to The Alchemist. Paulo
picks up the theme of the pilgrimage to Santiago but tells a very different,
gripping story of love, loss and passionate obsession. The protagonist of
this new novel is a renowned author who writes about spirituality and once
went on pilgrimage along the road to Santiago. On a return visit, he is
suddenly abandoned by his wife, who leaves no trace of herself behind. As the
story unfolds the author becomes obsessed with understanding the reason for
her desertion. The title comes from a tale by Jorge Luis Borges, published in
his book The Aleph. In Arabic Zahir means 'visible, present and unable to go
unnoticed.' It refers to something or someone that ends up being the only
thing we can think of. This state of 'possession' can be understood as
saintliness or insanity, with a fine line between the two. The novel is also
full of comments on what it is to be rich and famous, on the meaning of
money, on what motivates a writer and on the nature of marriage. |

Pascal Mercier – “Night Train to Lisbon”
|
In
Swiss novelist Mercier's U.S. debut, Raimund Gregorius is a gifted but dull
57-year-old high school classical languages teacher in Switzerland. After a
chance meeting with a Portuguese woman in the rain, he discovers the work of a
Portuguese poet and doctor, Amadeu de Prado, persecuted under Salazar's
regime. Transfixed by the work, Gregorius boards a train for Lisbon, bent on
discovering Prado's fate and on uncovering more of his work. He returns to
the sites of Prado's life and interviews the major players—Prado's sisters,
lovers, fellow resistors and estranged best friend—and begins to lose
himself. The artful unspooling of Prado's fraught life is richly detailed:
full of surprises and paradoxes, it incorporates a vivid rendering of the
Portuguese resistance to Salazar. The novel, Mercier's third in Europe, was a
blockbuster there. |

Michael Gates Gill – “How Starbucks Saved my Life”
|
In
a nutshell, Michael Gates Gill was raised in a very rich family. After an
illustrious career, he worked at Starbucks. This book makes us think about
the question of how much of our happiness is our circumstances, and how much
of it is our attitude. For Mr. Gill, he was happier working at Starbucks and
living in a cruddy apartment than he had ever been living in a huge mansion
but slaving away at his job. It’s a great book to help you rethink your
priorities. |
