Maktub
If you are one of Paulo Coelho's reader, i think you must be be loved this news. Paulo Coelho is not only one of the most widely read but also one the most influential authors writting today. To date a total of 210 translations have been sold with sales totalling almost 37 million copies. In 56 languages and published in 140 countries of the world. In 1986 Paulo Coelho walked along the Road of Santiago, the ancient Spanish pilgrimage. He would later describe this experience in ‘The Pilgrimage’, published in 1987. The following year, with his second book ‘The Alchemist’, established his worldwide fame. The book is an authentic phenomenon, one of the best book I ever read.The good news is, now you may download free the full version of Paulo Coelho's "Maktub", a collection of 110 short stories (published in several Brazilian newspapers) translated by Alan R. Clarke. "Maktub" means "It is written." The Arabs feel that "It is written" is not really a good translation, because, although everything is already written, God is compassionate, and wrote it all down just to help us.
