On the Way to Santiago

On the Camino de Santiago, Paulo Coelho's very personal diary of his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1986 serves as a travel and experience report, in which the major themes of his novels – from The Alchemist to The Devil and Miss Prym – are already present: love, the eternal struggle between good and evil, and the question of whether we take our lives into our own hands and dare to make a change. It is a book about transformation that ultimately leaves the reader changed as well.
