Publisher's Synopsis
The speeches of Paulo Coelho and Kabir are characterized by a certain fullness that was measured in the course of two poetic readings. The desire for initiation into transcendence and the knowledge of the absolute was translated, in each of them, by the practice of language that emphasized both the form and substance of the content and the form and substance of the expression. The human adventure, whether it is translated by the physical journey centered on spirituality as we could note in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist or by the metaphysical journey as in Kabir's One Hundred and Eight Pearls, remains an adventure of the word and of all the great formal and semantic configurations to which its treatment could reach.
