“Paulo Coelho is the master of parables for seekers of meaning. He tells of fundamental experiences, and readers recognize themselves in them.”

  •  Der Spiegel

“His books have had a life-enchanting effect on millions of people.”

  •  The Times

The Warrior of the Light became a key book for understanding my universe

  • Paulo Coelho

The Warrior of the Light is a believer. Because he believes in miracles, miracles begin to happen.

That is why they are Warriors of the Light. Because they make mistakes. Because they fail. Because they ask themselves questions.

In Italy, Warrior of the Light sold more than a million copies, becoming after The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes, the most successful of the author‘s books there.
The popularity of the Warrior of the Light became such there that at the end of 1997, the designer Donatella Versace announced that her 1998 collection had found its inspiration in Coelho‘s book.
