Sinossi
Come possiamo trovare il coraggio di essere sinceri con noi stessi, anche se non abbiamo alcuna certezza su chi siamo davvero? Ecco la domanda che anima questo romanzo. È la storia di una donna misteriosa di nome Athena, raccontata attraverso le voci di molte persone che la conoscevano bene, o che l'avevano soltanto incontrata. Le persone creano una realtà, e poi si ritrovano vittime di essa. Athena si ribellò a tutto questo, e pagò un prezzo altissimo. Il suo grande problema era quello di essere una donna del XXII secolo che viveva, però, nel XXI, e lo rivelava a tutti. Ha pagato un prezzo? Senza dubbio. Ma avrebbe pagato un costo ben più alto, se avesse represso la sua esuberanza. Sarebbe stata amareggiata, frustrata, preoccupata di "ciò che penseranno gli altri", e avrebbe continuato a ripetersi: "Prima risolverò queste faccende, poi mi dedicherò al mio sogno", sempre lamentandosi del fatto che "le condizioni ideali non arrivano mai".

This book *really* made me think about who I am and where I am going, and who I want to be as a woman, a wife, a soon-to-be-mother, a daughter, and a human. I didn't always like Paulo Coelho's work. I tried to read The Alchemist in college and the novel just didn't do it for me. But a friend recommen Leggi tutto
I always wished that Paulo Coehlo was my uncle so that I could call him ‘Papa Coelho’ and sit at his knee while he smoked his pipe. I think that he would be delightfully eccentric, and given to saying things like ‘Suffering, if confronted without fear, is the great passport to freedom.’ So, true, P Leggi tutto

Trapped for hours in an airport with nothing to read, my wife was further victimized by this remarkably bad book, one of five books available for sale in Portland International Airport at 2am. You can turn to any page and find a really hackneyed phrase. Kahil Gibrain's psuedo-religious drivel was at Leggi tutto
Preachy new age-y bullshit, with a distinct undertone of "I'm idealizing feminine qualities, so I can't possibly be sexist" sexism. Seriously, one of his characters lists four female archetypes that women supposedly follow, and although he calls them the witch, the virgin, the martyr and the saint,
What a load of crap, this..!!! I had long since wanted to try a Paulo Coelho book and I picked this on impulse. Man, I've never been soo damn wrong in my life. Half way through it, I was getting HEADSPINS...!!! Being stubborn as I am, somehow managed to get through it and was left utterly dismayed and Leggi tutto
This is not a novel -- it's a treatise. There is a character, Athena, that I never come to care about, and there is no plot. What IS there, you ask? Well, there's an explication of a belief system. That's it. That's what this is. Most of the book is taken up in various people talking to each other in Leggi tutto
