This Is the question which irritated me while reading this book.why in Western countries do they not publish nit the stories of modern western interventions?why is the story of survivors of Isis cruelty deserves more of human sympathy than the story of man who lost 30 of his family thanks to American f16? As they travel together, Paulo and Karla explore their own relationship: a life-defining love story that awakens them on every level and leads to choices and decisions that will set the course for their lives thereafter.Sometimes I wonder why only western people are interested in knowing or understanding other people more than non westerns try to understand their western counterparts.Īnother thing that irritates me is why most publishers are interested only knowing and writing about victims of Islamic extremism From Malala to Yazidi victims?why is it most of the books paints a negative light of Muslims as Brutish and barbarian and the West as enlightened and less cruel than muslims?why we only hear about Malala but not the stories of muslim victims of which reach thousands who were bombed in Mosul and Falluja or Ramadi? They embark on the journey in the company of fascinating fellow travelers, each of whom has a story to tell, and each of whom will undergo a personal transformation, changing their priorities and values along the way. She convinces Paulo to join her on a trip aboard the Magic Bus that travels across Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu. There he meets Karla, a Dutch woman in her twenties who has been waiting to find the ideal companion to accompany her on the fabled hippie trail to Nepal. Paulo's travels take him farther to the famous Dam Square in Amsterdam filled with young people wearing vibrant clothes and burning incense, meditating and playing music, while discussing sexual liberation, the expansion of consciousness, and the search for an inner truth. In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a young, skinny Brazilian man with a goatee and long, flowing hair, who wants to become a writer and sets off on a journey in search of a deeper meaning for his life: first on the famous "Death Train" to Bolivia, then on to Peru, later hitchhiking through Chile and Argentina.
Drawing on the rich experience of his own life, best-selling author Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to relive the dreams of a generation that longed for peace and dared to challenge the established social order. If you want to learn about yourself, start by exploring the world around you.
