Paulo Coelho de Souza (,^[1] Portuguese: [ˈpawlu kuˈeʎu]; born 24 August 1947) is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002.^[2] His novel The Alchemist became an international best-seller and he has published 28 more books since then.

Biography[edit]

Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and attended a Jesuit school. At 17, Coelho’s parents committed him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 20.^[3][4] Coelho later remarked that «It wasn’t that they wanted to hurt me, but they didn’t know what to do… They did not do that to destroy me, they did that to save me.»^[5]
At his parents’ wishes, Coelho enrolled in law school and abandoned his dream of becoming a writer. One year later, he dropped out and lived life as a hippie, traveling through South America, North Africa, Mexico, and Europe and started using drugs in the 1960s.^[6][7]

Upon his return to Brazil, Coelho worked as a songwriter, composing lyrics for Elis Regina, Rita Lee, and Brazilian icon Raul Seixas. Composing with Raul led to Coelho being associated with magic and occultism, due to the content of some songs.^[8] He is often accused that these songs were rip-offs of foreign songs not well known in Brazil at the time.^[9] In 1974, by his account, he was arrested for «subversive» activities and tortured^[10][11] by the ruling military government, who had taken power ten years earlier and viewed his lyrics as left-wing and dangerous.^[5] Coelho also worked as an actor, journalist and theatre director before pursuing his writing career.^[8]

Coelho married artist Christina Oiticica in 1980. Together they had previously spent half the year in Rio de Janeiro and the other half in a country house in the Pyrenees Mountains of France, but now the couple reside permanently in Geneva, Switzerland.^[12]

In 1986 Coelho walked the 500-plus mile Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.^[6][13] On the path, he had a spiritual awakening, which he described autobiographically in The Pilgrimage.^[14] In an interview, Coelho stated «[In 1986], I was very happy in the things I was doing. I was doing something that gave me food and water – to use the metaphor in The Alchemist, I was working, I had a person whom I loved, I had money, but I was not fulfilling my dream. My dream was, and still is, to be a writer.»^[15] Coelho would leave his lucrative career as a songwriter and pursue writing full-time.

The Pilgrim – Story of Paulo Coelho is the international title for the biographical film Não Pare na Pista, a co-production between Brazil’s Drama Films and the Spanish Babel Films, in which the younger and older Coelho are played by two different actors. One of the producers, Iôna de Macêdo, told Screen International: «The film tells the story of a man who has a dream. It’s a little like Alice in Wonderland – he’s someone who is too big for his house.» The film, shot in Portuguese, had its premiere in Brazilian theaters in 2014 and was internationally distributed in 2015.^[16]

Career[edit]

In 1982, Coelho published his first book, Hell Archives, which failed to make a substantial impact.^[8] In 1986 he contributed to the Practical Manual of Vampirism, although he later tried to take it off the shelves since he considered it «of bad quality.»^[8] After making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1986, Coelho wrote The Pilgrimage, published in 1987.

While trying to overcome his procrastination about launching his writing career, Coelho decided, «If I see a white feather today, that is a sign that God is giving me that I have to write a new book.» Seeing one in the window of a shop, he began writing that day.^[14] The following year, Coelho wrote The Alchemist and published it through a small Brazilian publishing house that made an initial print run of 900 copies and decided not to reprint it.^[17] He subsequently found a bigger publishing house, and with the publication of his next book Brida, The Alchemist took off. HarperCollins decided to publish the book in 1994. Later it became an international bestseller.^[17] In a 2009 interview with the Syrian Forward Magazine, Coelho stated that the Sufi tradition had been an influence on him, particularly when writing The Alchemist and later The Zahir.^[18]

Since the publication of The Alchemist, Coelho has generally written at least one novel every two years. Four of them – The Pilgrimage, Hippie, The Valkyries and Aleph – are autobiographical, while the majority of the rest are broadly fictional.^[6] Other books, like Maktub, The Manual of the Warrior of Light and Like the Flowing River, are collections of essays, newspaper columns, or selected teachings. His work has been published in more than 170 countries and translated into eighty-three languages. Together, his books have sold 320 million copies.^[19]
On 22 December 2016, Coelho was listed by UK-based company Richtopia at number 2 in the list of 200 most influential contemporary authors.^[20]

However, reactions to his writing have not been without controversy. Though he was raised in a Catholic family, and describes himself as of that faith even now, his stance has been described as incompatible with the Catholic faith, because of its New Age, pantheist and relativist contents.^[21] And whatever his sales, reviews of Coelho’s later work consistently note its superficiality.^[22][23][24]

In 2016, he was contacted by basketball player Kobe Bryant, who wanted to discuss a children’s book project with him. Some months before Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash in January 2020, they started to write the book together, but upon hearing about his passing, Coelho decided to delete the whole draft, saying in an interview that «it didn’t make any sense to publish without him.» He did not say how many pages had been written or whether the book had a title.^[25][26]

In 2018, it was announced that Coelho had signed for a TV series based on the characters of his novels The Devil and Miss Prym, Brida and The Witch of Portobello.^[27][28]

Paulo Coelho: biography

Paulo Coelho is a talented writer who, probably, does not need to be introduced. The Brazilian author has won many international awards in literature; his name is included in Guinness World Records, and the man received the Legion of Honor. These are only a few achievements of the prominent author.

Childhood and youth

The future writer was born in Rio de Janeiro on August 24, 1947. The family was quite wealthy. The boy attended a Catholic school that instilled the competitive spirit and the urge to surpass others in students; the development of individual talents was a significant issue.

Because of such a specific approach, the teenager started despising the traditional life. He wanted to master his literary skills and explore the world, but the parents viewed that as a signal of insanity and put their son to a mental hospital. For the next three years, the young man was locked there; he fled three times and was returned. Schizophrenia was the official diagnosis.

The parents reached their goal: their son gave up his plans to write books and entered a school of law. The rebellious nature and intolerance to imposed opinions won, though: the next year, Coelho began to build his own life and quit his studies to join the hippie movement. At that time, the would-be writer traveled across all countries of South America and visited Europe and North America as well. It was the time of freedom, vagrancy, and even drugs.

Paulo came back home several years later; he did not resume his studies and earned his living by songwriting for popular rock artists. All in all, the poet created more than a hundred works on social topics. There was another interest: occultism and self-proclaimed black magician Aleister Crowley’s ideas.

In addition, the young man worked part-time as a journalist and theater director; he played several parts himself. In his spare time, Paulo communicated with his anarchist friends, who founded an anti-governmental organization. Military leaders could not but notice such an unusual person as Paulo Coelho; he was accused of anti-governmental activities and imprisoned. Some sources claim the man was tortured there.

The fact that Paulo had been treated for schizophrenia as a teenager saved him: old medical documents gave the ground to identify him as an irresponsible person and set him free.

One day, Paulo’s life changed dramatically: he met a member of a Catholic religious order who explored Evangelic secrets. This man became Coelho’s spiritual guide; under his influence, the would-be author went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the shrine of Saint James the Greater was located. According to Paulo, it dawned upon him that songwriting was not his destiny – literature was.

Literature

It is hardly possible to say what caused the decision: it could be supreme forces or the fact that Coelho got sick of wasting his talent. Whatever the reason was, the man’s childhood dream came true: he began to write. The first book was based on the author’s pilgrimage – the impressions were still fresh. The Pilgrimage was released in 1987. Although it did not bring him as much fame as The Alchemist, it increased pilgrims’ and tourists’ interest in the places described in the text.

The Alchemist came out the next year; this story became iconic and continues to be discussed by literature lovers all over the globe. Surprisingly, the novel did not raise much interest among readers; only several hundreds of copies were sold. In 1994, the book was re-released in the United States and proved to be a bestseller within days. Coelho gained what he had wished – international recognition and the status of a real writer.

The next book, Brida, was presented in 1990. From that time, the author released one book per two years; many earned people’s love in various countries, but none of them repeated the success of The Alchemist. Veronika Decides to Die, Eleven Minutes, The Fifth Mountain, The Winner Stands Alone, The Zahir, and Maktub are the most popular works. Three books are autobiographical: The Valkyries, The Pilgrimage, and Aleph.

Coelho’s novels have been sold in 170 countries; his quotes travel all over the globe. Those who choose the way of self-improvement appreciate Manual of the Warrior of Light. There have been several screen adaptations of the author’s stories. Each new book evokes much excitement among fans, while critics’ opinions are less favorable. Some of them write smashing reviews and bring down the writer’s style and content. Still, criticism cannot reduce fans’ sincere love.

Personal life

Paulo Coelho’s personal life has always been abundant; women liked him when he was only a teenager.

The first wife, Vera Richter, was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. She was eleven years older than her husband; perhaps, this fact caused the quick break-up.

At the age of 25, Coelho met Adalgisa Rios. The hippie could not resist the extravagant beauty; they were wandering around the world and took light drugs; everything seemed to be cloudless. Still, the relationship ran out of its steam soon.

Cissa McDowell became the great writer’s next wife; she was 19 at that time. The couple spent together three years.

Today, Paulo Coelho is happily married to his fourth wife, Christina Oiticica; they met in the early 1980s. Perhaps, the secret of their strong union is that the woman helped the writer believe in himself.

Oiticica has always supported her beloved one and even organized the travel when Paulo met his spiritual guide.

Present days

Nowadays, the writer continues to create novels; Love, Adultery, The Spy, and Hippie are the most recent works. Coelho has been included in Guinness World Records as the author whose book was most frequently translated in his lifetime – it was The Alchemist.

Apart from writing, the man has other interests. He founded an organization in Brazil that helps people protect their rights; according to the author, it was the basis of a happy life and fruitful creation.

The writer participates in the preparation of the screen adaptation of The Alchemist. Rumors have it Idris Elba will play the lead character; Laurence Fishburne will be the director.

Journalists often call the writer the man of a new age for his intelligence and, simultaneously, inner liberty. One should give credit to Coelho and his strong character: he went through a mental hospital and prison without rejecting his childhood dream. He has given many pleasant hours to those who love his books.

Paulo Coelho’s net worth is $500 million in 2019.

Quotes

Stay insane, but behave like normal people (Veronika Decides to Die)

When you want something; all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it (The Alchemist)

For her, every day was the same, and when each day is the same as next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day the sun rises (The Alchemist)

They all believe that man feels desire for only eleven minutes a day, and that they’ll pay a fortune for it. That’s not true; a man is also a woman; he wants to find someone, to give meaning to his life. (Eleven Minutes)

Sometimes you have to die to start living (Veronika Decides to Die)

(1947-)

Пауло Коэльо де Соуза ( , португальский:  [pawlu kueʎu] , родился 24 августа 1947) является бразильский поэт и прозаик. Он является членом Бразильской академии литературы . Его роман «Алхимик» был продан тиражом более 150 миллионов копий по всему миру и является бестселлером бразильского писателя за все время. Он оказал влияние на бразильскую рок-музыку благодаря сотрудничеству с музыкантом Раулем Сейшасом .

биография

Пауло Коэльо родился в Рио-де-Жанейро , Бразилия , учился в иезуитской школе. В 17 лет родители Коэльо отправили его в психиатрическую лечебницу, из которой он трижды сбегал, прежде чем его выпустили в 20 лет. Коэльо позже заметил, что «не то чтобы они хотели причинить мне боль, но они не знали, что делать. сделать … Они сделали это не для того, чтобы уничтожить меня, они сделали это, чтобы спасти меня «. По желанию родителей Коэльо поступил в юридический институт и отказался от своей мечты стать писателем. Год спустя он бросил учебу и жил жизнью хиппи , путешествуя по Южной Америке, Северной Африке, Мексике и Европе, а в 1960-х начал употреблять наркотики .

По возвращении в Бразилию Коэльо работал автором песен, сочиняя тексты для Элис Регина , Риты Ли и бразильской иконы Рауля Сейшаса . Работа с Раулем привела к тому, что Коэльо стал ассоциироваться с магией и оккультизмом из-за содержания некоторых песен. Его часто обвиняют в том, что эти песни были подделкой иностранных песен, малоизвестных в то время в Бразилии. В 1974 году, по его словам, он был арестован за «подрывную» деятельность и подвергался пыткам со стороны правящего военного правительства , которое пришло к власти десятью годами ранее и считало его тексты левыми и опасными. Коэльо также работал актером, журналистом и театральным режиссером, прежде чем продолжить свою писательскую карьеру.

Коэльо женился на художнице Кристине Ойтисике в 1980 году. Вместе они ранее провели полгода в Рио-де-Жанейро, а другую половину — в загородном доме в Пиренейских горах Франции, но теперь пара постоянно проживает в Женеве , Швейцария.

В 1986 году Коэльо прошел 500-мильную дорогу Сантьяго-де-Компостела на северо-западе Испании. На пути у него было духовное пробуждение, которое он автобиографически описал в «Паломничестве» . В интервью Коэльо заявил: «[В 1986 году] я был очень доволен тем, что делал. Я делал то, что давало мне пищу и воду — используя метафору из « Алхимика » , я работал, у меня был человек. кого я любил, у меня были деньги, но я не осуществлял свою мечту. Я мечтал и остается писателем ». Коэльо оставил свою прибыльную карьеру автора песен и занялся написанием песен на полную ставку.

Паломник — История Пауло Коэльо — это международное название биографического фильма Não Pare na Pista , совместного производства Brazil’s Drama Films и Spanish Babel Films, в котором младшего и старшего Коэльо играют два разных актера. Один из продюсеров, Иона де Македо, сказал Screen International : «В фильме рассказывается история человека, у которого есть мечта. Это немного похоже на Алису в стране чудес — он слишком велик для своего дома». Премьера фильма, снятого на португальском языке, состоялась в 2014 году в бразильских театрах, а в 2015 году его прокатили по всему миру.

Карьера

Пишу

В 1982 году Коэльо опубликовал свою первую книгу « Адские архивы» , которая не оказала существенного влияния. В 1986 году он внес свой вклад в « Практическое руководство вампиризма» , хотя позже он попытался снять его с полок, так как посчитал его «плохого качества». Совершив паломничество в Сантьяго-де-Компостела в 1986 году, Коэльо написал книгу «Паломничество» , опубликованную в 1987 году.

Пытаясь преодолеть медлительность с началом писательской карьеры, Коэльо решил: «Если я увижу сегодня белое перо, это знак того, что Бог дает мне, что я должен написать новую книгу». Увидев одну в витрине магазина, он начал писать в тот же день. В следующем году Коэльо написал «Алхимика» и опубликовал его через небольшое бразильское издательство, которое произвело первоначальный тираж в 900 экземпляров и решило не перепечатывать его. Впоследствии он нашел большую типографию, и с публикацией его следующей книги Брида , Алхимик снял. HarperCollins решила издать книгу в 1994 году. Позже она стала международным бестселлером. В интервью журналу Syrian Forward в 2009 году Коэльо заявил, что суфийская традиция оказала на него влияние, особенно при написании «Алхимика», а затем «Захира» .

С момента публикации «Алхимика» Коэльо обычно писал по крайней мере один роман каждые два года. Четыре из них — «Паломничество» , « Хиппи» , «Валькирии» и « Алеф» — автобиографичны, в то время как большинство остальных являются в целом вымышленными. Другие книги, такие как « Мактуб» , «Руководство воина света» и « Как текущая река» , представляют собой сборники эссе, газетных колонок или избранных учений. Его работы были опубликованы более чем в 170 странах и переведены на восемьдесят три языка. Вместе его книги были проданы триста двадцать миллионов. 22 декабря 2016 года британская компания Richtopia перечислила Коэльо на 2-е место в списке 200 самых влиятельных современных авторов.

Тем не менее, реакция на его сочинения была неоднозначной. Хотя он вырос в католической семье и даже сейчас описывает себя как приверженец этой веры, его позиция была описана как несовместимая с католической верой из-за ее нью-эйджского , пантеистического и релятивистского содержания. И каковы бы ни были его продажи, отзывы о более поздних работах Коэльо неизменно отмечают их поверхностность.

В 2016 году с ним связался баскетболист Коби Брайант , который хотел обсудить с ним проект детской книги. За несколько месяцев до смерти Брайанта в результате крушения вертолета в январе 2020 года они начали писать книгу вместе, но, узнав о его кончине, Коэльо решил удалить весь черновик, заявив в интервью, что «в этом нет никакого смысла. публиковать без него «. Он не сказал, сколько страниц было написано и есть ли у книги название.

В 2018 году было объявлено, что Коэльо подписался на сериал, основанный на персонажах его романов Дьявол и мисс Прим , Брида и Ведьма из Портобелло .
