Summary
Paulo Coelho: Brida
How can I recognize my Other Half?" "By taking risks, she answered Brida. "The risk of failure, deception and disappointment, but never giving up the search for Love. He who does not give up the search, wins in the end." "In Brida, my third novel that I wrote just after "The Alchemist", I tell the story of a young woman who gets involved in witchcraft and learns about different magical traditions. In it I explore many themes that are close to my heart, including the Great Mother, pagan beliefs and concepts of love. When I wrote this book and published it in Brazil more than eighteen years ago, topics like the female face of God were still foreign to most people. noticed changes in understanding - people became more open to intuitive perception of the world and less captivated by rigid social rules, because as I wrote in this book, 'the most sublime experience that a human being can experience is the acceptance of mystery'.
