Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 24, 1947. As a teenager, Coelho wished to become a writer, but his mother had a different opinion when he told her, “Dear; your father is an engineer, a logical, practical man, with a very clear vision of the world.” Do you really know what it means to be a writer?”
At the age of sixteen, Coelho's introversion and resistance to the traditional ways of life led his parents to send him to a mental institution, which led him to flee from it three times before he was finally released from it at the age of twenty! Coelho later commented, "It wasn't that they (his parents) wanted to hurt me, they just didn't know what to do with me. They didn't do it to destroy me, but to keep me." and in accordance with the wishes of his parents; Coelho goes to law school and abandons his old dream of becoming a writer. and one year later; Coelho left school and lived a bohemian life, traveling to many places; South America, North Africa, Mexico, Europe, and began taking drugs in the 1960s. Upon his return to Brazil, Coelho worked as a songwriter for some singers, and was arrested in 1974 on charges of "subversive acts" during the prevailing military rule at the time, which considered Coelho's lyric compositions a dangerous "leftist"! Coelho also worked as an actor, journalist and theater director before turning entirely to writing.
أوراق محارب الضوء pdf by Paulo Coelho
محاربُ الضوء ليس محارباً عاديّاً بلباس عسكري وجهبة وسلاح فتّاك أو أقل فتكاً، يتوجّه إلى ساحة المعركة ويطلق بأوامر من قادته!!..
محارب الضوء رجلٌ مختلف متميّز يمتلك طاقة هائلة، يحمل البراءة والمحبة والبذل وروح التضحية، يقرأ ما بين السطور، يسمع أبعد من الأصوات؛ ويلتمس أكثر من الأشياء الملموسة ويغدو قادراً في نهاية المطاف على إكتشاف معجزة الحياة؛ لا يكون محارب الضوء فرداً أبداً، بل مجموعة محاربي ضوء، لأن الفكرة جماعية والقوّة المنبثقة عنها جماعية.
أوراق محارب الضوء، مواجهة مباشرة وعلنية مع أسرار الحياة الكامنة في أبسط الأشياء المنثورة حولنا، والتي نمرّ ولا نوليها أدنى إهتمام، ولعبة فلسفية بارعة يتقن مفاتيحها "باولو كويلو"، ويتقن كيف يمرِّرها ويجعلنا نشغف بها، لنفهم الحياة ويجعلنا أكثر تعلُّقاً بها.
