Manuscript Found in Accra places us in July 14, 1099. Jerusalem is preparing for the invasion of the Crusaders. While they await the enemy attack, a Greek man by the name of Copt calls the city youth and elders to a meeting. What values will remain after all has been destroyed?
Everyone asked him about his or her true enemies, defeat, loneliness; about the fight, change, beauty, and the path to be followed. About love, loyalty, fate, sex, fear, anxiety, wisdom, and what the future will hold.
And Copt’s answers are still valid to this day, one thousand years later.

“In the Manuscript found in Accra, Coelho wants to speak more and more of important things, of values. The only way to live in peace with the mystery of life.”
- Corriere della Sera
“The sentences about respect for the mystery of life and about love are overwhelmingly beautiful.”
- Nederlands Dagblad
“Paulo Coelho shows us the light of hope in the chaos of present times.”
- Posta Newspaper
“We live under a bombardment of information that we believe to be true, when many times it may be fiction. The Manuscript Found in Accra is based on values, and values are never fiction. They transcend time. The book does not aim to explain or describe values, but rather to see how the questions we had a thousand years ago are still alive today.”
- Paulo Coelho
Like The Alchemist, the English audiobook of this title is narrated by Jeremy Irons. The ongoing TikTok success.
A vast world lies hidden in our soul, waiting to be discovered. There it is, with all its strength intact, but it is so new and so powerful that we are afraid to acknowledge its existence.
Scatter your seed wherever you go, because we can never know which seeds will grow and flourish and enlighten the next generation.
