March 12, 2012, Pune, India: Popular Brazilian author Paulo Coelho released his most-recent book – Aleph. This book is based on his journey across Asia in 2006. It is an autobiographical account of his experiences.
Paulo Coelho has discussed how Aleph is the title of a shortstory by his favorite author Jorge Luis Borges. He says he has always been drawn to the idea of Aleph and this book happens to be his most-personal novel.
It is based on a journey that he undertook that revived his faith. He travels across Asia, Africa and Europe via the Trans-Siberian railway. He meets a woman named Hilal, someone he loved five hundred years ago! It is a journey back in time and of the present where they learn about compassion, love, courage and forgiveness. It throws a fundamental question at the reader whether we are where we want to be and whether we are doing what we want to do.
