The Theme of Spiritual Quest in Paulo Coelho’s Select Novels

Abstract

Paulo Coelho novels are like mystical pearls trying to point out a way to the reader in his real life. But there is a strong thread of Spirituality connecting all most all his works. This is an attempt to find that inner thread that is not so obvious but still everything behind the novels and his great success.

All these quest behind these novels seem to be based on the listening to one’s self often the author’s as most of them are semi-autobiographical except the Alchemist where the protagonist does it. Moreover it stresses the readers to listen to the signs around them.

This is a formula of a man who had used his inner voice or intuition to become a successful man in life. He expounds and also lights the way for the reader to obtain it, just like him.
