By Paulo Coelho

Categories: Literature & Fiction, Religion & Spirituality

On July 14, 1099, as crusaders prepare to attack Jerusalem, the people of the city gather around a wise man known as the Copt. Christians, Muslims and Jews alike ask him about fear, defeat, love, beauty and the meaning of life. Paulo Coelho presents the book as an ancient manuscript recovered in modern times. It reads as a series of reflections on values that endure when the future is uncertain.
