The Zahirepub,mobi,azw3格式电子书下载，作者：Paulo Coelho-读书派

Set in Paris and in the enchanting landscape of central Asia, this new novel by the author of the international bestsellers The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes follows the journey of a man obsessed with finding the wife who left him without an explanation.

The narrator of The Zahir is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. His wife of ten years, Esther, is a war correspondent who, despite her professional success and freedom from the conventional constraints of marriage, is facing an existential crisis. When she disappears along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover, the authorities question the narrator. Was Esther kidnapped, killed, or did she simply abandon 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, the man with whom Esther was last seen, finds the narrator and promises to take him to his wife. In his attempt to recapture a love lost, the narrator discovers something unexpected about himself.

A haunting and redemptive story about the dark side of obsession, The Zahir explores its potential to both fulfill our dreams and to destroy them. It is also a thoughtful meditation on faith, celebrity, marriage -- and their relationships to freedom and creativity.

保罗·科埃略一九四七年出生于里约热内卢市一个中产阶级家庭，少年时期便立志成为像若热·亚马多一样成功的职业作家。在从事文学创作之前，曾担任过编剧、剧场导演和记者，为巴西最著名的摇滚乐歌星创作过《减生于一万年之前》等六十余首歌词。后沉迷于研究炼金术，魔法、吸血鬼等神秘事物，作为媒皮士周游世界，与一些秘密团体和东方宗教社会有过接触。一九八二年自行出版了《地狱档案》一书，但未曾引起任何反响。一九八五年又出版《吸血鬼研究实践手册》一书，但后又收回，理由是他本人认为《The Zahir》“质量低劣”。一九七七年，在周游世界时他参加了一个名叫拉姆的天主教组织，一九八六年，按该组织的要求，保罗·科埃略沿中世纪三条朝圣路线之一，历时三个月，徒步行走近六百公里的路程，从法国南部穿越比利牛斯山脉，抵达西班牙加利西亚地区孔波斯泰尔的圣地亚哥朝圣。他以这次朝圣之旅为素材，于翌年出版《朝...

第一次看他的书的时候，会觉得很深奥。可看到这本，感觉有点儿用力过猛：每一段话都像是很深奥，可回头再看，其实是用过多的同意反复和反问来营造反思的错觉，似乎有一种余味儿在里头。不过，有一些亮点在里头。

邂逅：2009.6.20.杜伊斯堡“彩虹书店”；旅程：2009.6.22.-2009.6.28.；地点：上海家中、地铁、五角场哈根达斯、来福士糖潮、大宁大家乐；如此有纵深有质感的“言情小说”，放眼望去，大概也只有保罗·科埃略这样的天才才写得出。坦白说我更喜欢上一部看的《维罗妮卡决定去死》，但因为写这书的人太天才了，所以我也只能给五颗星了……

主要是节奏慢让人有时间能够沉浸在记忆的大河中发散一下思维-_-!开始时偶觉得很吸引人，后来虽然偶不是很喜欢你“特立独行”的说话语气，但是还是有些启发的。
