Hippie (SIGNED BOOK) by Paulo Coelho
First Printing, First Edition Hardcover
Hand Signed by Paula Coelho
Drawing on the rich experience of his own life, best-selling author
Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to relive the dreams of a generation
that longed for peace and dared to challenge the established social
order. In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a young, skinny
Brazilian man with a goatee and long, flowing hair, who wants to become a
writer and sets off on a journey in search of a deeper meaning for his
life.
Paulo’s travels take him from South America to the famous
Dam Square in Amsterdam filled with young people wearing vibrant clothes
and burning incense, meditating and playing music, while discussing
sexual liberation, the expansion of consciousness, and the search for an
inner truth.
There he meets Karla, a Dutch woman in her
twenties who has been waiting to find the ideal companion to accompany
her on the fabled hippie trail to Nepal. She convinces Paulo to join her
on a trip aboard the Magic Bus that travels across Europe and Central
Asia to Kathmandu. They embark on the journey in the company of
fascinating fellow travelers, each of whom has a story to tell, and each
of whom will undergo a personal transformation, changing their
priorities and values along the way. As they travel together, Paulo and
Karla explore their own relationship: a life-defining love story that
awakens them on every level and leads to choices and decisions that will
set the course for their lives thereafter.
