Beschreibung

“Superabundant talent, stunning originality, an elegant way with words… The Zahir is something more.”
-- Los Angeles Times
The narrator of The Zahr is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges money and celebrity bring. His wife of ten years, Esther, is a war correspondent who has disappeared along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover.
Was Esther kidnapped, murdered, or did she simply escape a marriage that left her unfulfilled? The narrator doesn’t have any answers, but he has plenty of questions of his own. Then one day Mikhail finds the narrator and promises to reunite him with his wife. In his attempt to recapture a lost love, the narrator discovers something unexpected about himself.
A haunting and redemptive story about obsession, The Zahir explores its potential to fulfill our dreams, and to destroy them.

Siehe Brida, siehe Der Alchimist. Dieser ganze New Age spirituelle Kram ist einfach nichts für mich. Das sind genügend Werke von diesem Autor um sich eine eigene Meinung zu bilden. Nach diesem Buch ist's endgültig aus mit Paulo Coelho.

1.5 stars. This was pure bullshit, the writing was okay actually enjoyable but the content was utter bullshit. I have no idea what in heck I have read. I DNF'd after pushing myself for 3 days to try and get through this book thinking there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Sorry to say, the light was not even a light it was a reflection of a reflection of shit. Yes just like you didn't understand that last sentence is how I feel about this book. Why isn't important to know the reason for train tracks to be 143.5cm. Honestly, this is the second book of this author that I have DNF'd this year. I read 11 minutes a long time ago and it was decent but the rest of his writing, you need to be high on every known psychedelic drug to even glimpse at what he is trying to say. This was all about his entitled regurgitation of being able to to sleep with as many women as he wanted and live life without responsibility and have his fun without caring about anyone one else who got hurt in the process. Suffice to say, this is the last time I am attempting to read Paulo's books. I clearly have not attained the "spiritual enlightenment" he has.
