From Amazon.com

This first United States paperback of By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept comes after huge worldwide sales of the novel of faith, romance, miracles, and the importance of following the heart's true path. The inspirational tale follows Pilar, a young woman from the Spanish countryside who, sparked by the teachings of a now-mysterious man she has known and loved since childhood, leaves her graduate studies and embarks on a spiritual pilgrimage through the Pyrenees Mountains and reevaluates her life and her future. Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, is considered to be one of the most widely-read Latin American writers in the world. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Publishers Weekly

Before James Redfield there was Coelho, whose fiction laden with spiritual messages has proved more popular overseas than here. (The Alchemist, first published in Brazil in 1988 and here in 1993, glanced PW's paperback bestseller list but has sold two million copies in South America.) Though likely to please the author's fans, this new novel, a didactic love story set in modern-day Spain, may not extend his reach. Its heroine is Pilar, 28, who, in the company of her former boyfriend, learns over the course of seven days that "the spiritual path is traveled by means of the daily experience of love." That may be music to Coelho devotees, but others will note the surrounding cacophony-the incessant lapsing from narrative into lecture; the stilted characters, who lack motive and verisimilitude (after 10 years of separation, the ex, a former seminarian, now an esteemed miracle worker, invites Pilar for coffee and declares his love for her). Coelho's message, though, informed by his adherence to the Roman Catholic sect of the Order of Ram, is invariably heartfelt and challenging, emphasizing the feminine aspects of the divine and the charismatic aspects of worship. "Some day," Pilar learns, "people would realize... that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesize and understand." Whether that understanding will encompass Coelho's reasons for sacrificing dramatic integrity to polemic, and for insisting on cloaking sermons in fictional trappings, remains to be seen. $75,000 ad/promo.

1.0étoiles sur 5 TERRIBLE book by an AMAZING author, Janv. 24 2007
This review is from: By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept: A Novel Of Forgiveness (Paperback)
Wow was I sorely disappointed in this book. Previous to this book I had read "The Alchemist", and "Veronika Decides to Die" which were both extremely well written books. In fact "The Alchemist" is now a top my favorites list. This book was an excruciating read, and had nothing interesting to say whatsoever. I had to rush through it because I cannot leave a book, however bad unread, but I definitely regret purchasing and reading this book. If are you are going through Coelho's booklist do not leave this book `til last as it will leave a sour taste in your mouth. Do not let this sway you from Coelho's other books. I simply do not understand how someone could like this book.

Love is a need of every human,we were created to love and to be loved as a human we have a strong desire to be love,we have the necesity of being loved in a special way, this story is about a young couple that found each other once again after a long separation, their encounter brought some feelings that they had when they were younger, during that separation they try to find the real love, they know that they had something in common but they didn't know what was that but it was something powerful and special that it had to be discovered in specific time and specific circumstances, the separation helped them to understand that there is just one specific person for each one of us. They learned that the real love can't be substitude by any other feeling or material things and they learned the real love is not something that comes so easy, they have to fight and persevere in order to find it. They made many mistakes but and the end of the story they knew that the real love have to be cultivated.
