THE WAY OF THE BOW

“The Way of the Bow” relates the story of Tetsuya, the best archer of the country, who conveys his teachings to a boy in his village. Using the metaphor of archery the author leads us through several essential thoughts : our daily efforts and work, how to overcome difficulties, steadfastness, and courage to take risky decisions.

STORIES FOR PARENTS, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

“Stories for Parents, Children and Grandchildren” is a stroll through the universal traditions and legends, lulled by the unforgettable magic words “Once upon a time…”

This book by Paulo Coelho contains joyful, amazing and dramatic stories for readers of all ages. Most of them recount traditional legends and tales from many cultures. Included are also stories inspired by the author’s personal experience and episodes from the lives of celebrated names, as means of reflection.

WARRIOR OF THE LIGHT

“Warrior of the Light” is a collection of texts that, for the first time, are gathered from the internet writings of Paulo Coelho. In his inimitable style, Paulo Coelho helps us to discover the warrior of the light within each of us.

In these volumes readers are invited to to travel through the life and imagination of a pilgrim writer.

You can get your hands on these freebies by visiting the Internet books section of Paulo Coelho’s Blog.

This piece by Vladislav Provotorov has Noah’s Ark perched on what appears to be the Tower of Babel.

Noah's Ark

This one’s an inside view of the Tower of Babel as a Lovecraftian abomination rises from the infernal depths.

Cosmogony № 666

And here’s another version of the Tower of Babel with what appears to be the Whore of Babylon astride another betentacled leviathan.

Tower of Babel

There’s more where these came from, so if you’re craving for a visual feast, head on over to Metakultura’s feature on Vladislav Provotorov.
