Adultery
Paulo Coelho
Published: August 19, 2014 (US Edition)
In the latest novel from #1 best-selling author Paulo Coelho, a woman attempts to overcome midlife ennui by rediscovering herself in a passionate relationship with a man who had been a friend in her youth.
A woman in her thirties begins to question the routine and predictability of her days. In everybody's eyes, she has a perfect life: happy marriage, children, and a career. Yet what she feels is an enormous apathy. All that changes when she encounters a successful politician who had, years earlier, been her high school boyfriend.
As she rediscovers the passion missing from her life, she will face a life-altering choice.
About the Author:
Brazilian author PAULO COELHO
was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Before dedicating his
life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director and actor,
lyricist and journalist. In 1986, PAULO COELHO did the pilgrimage to
Saint James of Compostella, an experience later to be documented in his
book The Pilgrimage. In the following year, COELHO published The
Alchemist. Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the
novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books
of all time. Other titles include Brida (1990), The Valkyries (1992), By
the river Piedra I sat Down and Wept (1994), the collection of his best
columns published in the Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo entitle
Maktub (1994), the compilation of texts Phrases (1995), The Fifth
Mountain (1996), Manual of a Warrior of Light (1997), Veronika decides
to die (1998), The Devil and Miss Prym (2000), the compilation of
traditional tales in Stories for parents, children and grandchildren
(2001), Eleven Minutes (2003), The Zahir (2005), The Witch of Portobello
(2006) and Winner Stands Alone (2009).
During the
months of March, April, May and June 2006, Paulo Coelho traveled to
celebrate the 20th anniversary of his pilgrimage to Saint James of
Compostella in 1986. He also held surprise book signings - announced one
day in advance - in some cities along the way, to have a chance to meet
his readers. In ninety days of pilgrimage the author traveled around
the globe and took the famous Transiberrian train that took him to
Vladivostok. During this experience Paulo Coelho launched his blog
Walking the Path - The Pilgrimage in order to share with his readers his
impressions. Since this first blog Paulo Coelho has expanded his
presence in the internet with his daily blogs in Wordpress, Myspace
& Facebook. He is equally present in media sharing sites such as
Youtube and Flickr, offering on a regular basis not only texts but also
videos and pictures to his readers. From this intensive interest and use
of the Internet sprang his bold new project: The Experimental Witch
where he invites his readers to adapt to the screen his book The Witch
of Portobello. Indeed Paulo Coelho is a firm believer of Internet as a
new media and is the first Best-selling author to actively support
online free distribution of his work.
