The Valkyries

A Magical Tale About Forgiving Our Past and Believing in Our Future

De: Paulo Coelho

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

The enchanting, true story of The Valkyries begins in Rio de Janeiro when author Paulo Coelho gives his mysterious master, J., the only manuscript for his book The Alchemist. Haunted by a devastating curse, Coelho confesses to J., "I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed about to achieve them." In response, J. gives Coelho a daunting task: He must find and speak with his guardian angel. "The curse can be broken," he replies, "if you complete the task."

Rising to the challenge, Paulo and his wife, Cristina, drop everything, pack their bags, and take off on a 40-day adventure into the starkly beautiful and sometimes dangerous Mojave Desert - where they encounter more than they bargained for.

A masterful blend of the exotic locales, dramatic adventure, and magical storytelling, for which Coelho's fictional works are renowned, this true-life account is at once a modern-day adventure and a metaphysical odyssey.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Coelho's gripping tale of his adventures...reads like a suspense novel." ( San Mateo Times)

Pay No Attention To The Voice

This book was great! In spite all of the reviews here that say the reader of the audiobook is so bad you can't read through it, I say pay no attention to that. keep pressing forward you'll be pleased you did so.

Make peace with Go and peace with yourself

Make peace with God and peace with yourself, in the end there is nobody else. True to Paulo this book makes one ponder, think, puts you on an inward journey. With a little help the narrator might blossom into a more in touch with his feeling reader. The performance was killing the great revelations of the two main characters in the story. Still, Paulo this one stole my heart: great work

Paulo is one of my heros!

Once again, the author takes hold of my attention and speaks to my soul. And thus, to the soul of the world! I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for his being here on earth at this time! Every book of his I've read has spoken to me in one way or another.

amazing story

at parts it gets hard to read/listen. keep going the story is so worth it. trust when you need to put it down, do so. the book will reveal so much more to you. thank you so much Paulo!! thank you Sean

I enjoyed it

This book reminded me we are not alone. I also loved the fact that it is a true story.

Ehh

Not half as good as the alchymist. def struggled to finish. The epilog was the best part

could have been better

the story was good but the narration was boring, which brings the whole story down.
