Archer

Paulo Coelho's books have had a positive impact on the lives of millions.

The Times of London

From the author of The Alchemist comes an inspiring story of a young man seeking wisdom from a wise man and from the teachings he acquired throughout his life.

In The Archer, we are introduced to Tetsuya, a man who was once famous for his remarkable talent with a bow and arrow but who later retired from public life, and a boy who is on a search for him. The boy has many questions, and by answering them, Tsuya shows him the path of the arc and the principles to be followed. Paulo Coelho's novel assumes that living without coherence between one's thoughts and actions achieves little, and that a life surrounded by fear of rejection or failure loses much of its worth. Instead, one has to take risks, build courage, and accept the unexpected journey that fate brings.

With his wisdom, generosity, simplicity, and aesthetics that have made him a world bestseller, Paulo Coelho provides a framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, purpose, reflection, acceptance of failure, and the drive to make a difference.
