Synopsis "Brida "

From one of the most beloved and bestselling authors in the world, one of his earliest and most popular novels -- published in English for the first time.BRIDA, written in 1990, is Paulo s third book, which was launched in Brazil after the publication of THE ALCHEMIST. Paulo Coelho s great success in Brazil is owed to the launch of this book. It massively captured the press attention, which had until then remained silent while THE PILGRIMAGE and THE ALCHEMIST the works of a new author were reaching the first positions of the country s bestseller lists. Brida is the story of a young woman, Brida O Fern, and her path through the Wicca pagan tradition. Brida is only 21 years old when she meets a magician and asks to become a witch. The book compares the two classical forms of teaching, the Revelation (Tradition of the Sun) and the ritualistic (Tradition of the Moon). Love is the only way we have to bridge over to the spiritual world. When we love, we want to be better than we already are, and love makes us better.BRIDA captures the essence of Paulo Coelho -- thought-provoking spirituality, belief in the beauty of the physical and emotional worlds, and a headstrong female character who personifies the Divine Feminine. Published here in English for the first time, it will win over both those who love instant Coelho classics like THE ALCHEMIST and THE WITCH OF PORTOBELLO and newcomers to this impressive writer s work.
