    “The Beauty of Paulo Coelho’s Work”

    By Chatarina Tri Rahmawati

    Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian author who is famous for his uniqueness in persuading his
    readers to seek the true meaning of wisdom. His books are mostly filled with philosophy and
    religious values from Zen, Lao Tsu, Sa’di, the Bible, and the others. As one of the most popular
    authors in the world, Paulo Coelho’s works are guaranteed to have the high quality that people
    like. But, even though all of his works are extraordinary, there are three novels that successfully
    grasp people attention the best.
    Published in 1988, The Alchemist has successfully enchanted its
    readers. This novel tells us about the journey of a young shepherd
    named Santiago in Egypt. The same dream that he got every night led
    him to flock his wings. Santiago decided to leave his house and went to
    the deserted land to find out the true meaning of his dream. Due to the
    philosophy values in this book, reading will require you to think about
    the meaning of each actions. It might sound so boring, but the
    achievements that this book has will say the opposite. Over 62 million readers all around the
    world has read The Alchemist. It also dominated the first place of best-selling novels in lots of
    bookstore in 74 different countries. In 2002, it got the first position as the best -selling book by
    Jornal de Letras de Portugal.
    The second novel that amazingly grasped people’s loves is
    Veronika Decides to Die. This novel was published in 1998 by Harper
    Collins. Here, Paulo Coelho narrates the story of a twenty-four-year-
    old girl, Veronika, who lived in Slovenia. Despite of her beauty and
    cleverness, she always felt like her life was so monotone. That feeling
    made her decided to end her life. Fortunately, she was saved by her
    neighbour and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. In the hospital, she
    tried to find her truest way of life. Just like his previous successes in his
    novels, Veronika Decided to Die was categorized as one of the best-selling novels. Lots of critics
    praised Paulo’s intelligence in describing the life of patients in the psychiatric hospital.
    The last bittersweet novel that Paulo wrote is The Winner
    Stands Alone which was released in 2008. I personally think that this
    novel is such a phenomenal. The Winner Stands Alone gives us a big
    picture of how a modern life looks like. Paulo elaborates the culture of
    living with the ambition and obsession of fame and glamorous life.
    Sadly enough, the success of this novel is highly different with the
    success of The Alchemist. Some of Paulo’s readers found themselves a bit disappointed because
    this story is so different from the rest of his novels. But still, The Winner Stands Alone managed
    to get the title of the best-selling novel in some countries. For me, I do like this book because it
    opened my eyes of the truth behind the flashy dress and the glitz life of celebrities. Needless to
    say, this book is still worth to read.
    Those are the greatest novels that are written by Paulo Coelho. He had written so many
    novels, but those three are the best in my opinion. Therefore, you should try to read one of them.
