Who Is Paulo Coelho (And What Is His Richtopia Ranking)?

In case you are wondering who Paulo Coelho is, among other things, he is a Brazilian writer who in 2016 was listed by UK-based company Richtopia at number 2 in the list of 200 most influential contemporary authors.

If you have ever read any Paulo Coelho best books, you might be surprised to know that he is also a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

I say surprised because Paulo Coelho books are simply written, mostly in fable style, and are not what first come to mind when I think of literature.

On the surface, his stories are so simple that they could be understood by a pre-adolescent child—note I say on the surface.

Behind the apparent simplicity of his writing lies deep insights on life.

Best Paulo Coelho Books/Best Books of Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist

If you’ve ever heard of a book called The Alchemist, then you’ve probably also heard of Paulo Coelho.

The Alchemist is possibly his most famous book.

Paulo Coelho Speaking

The Alchemist was the first of Paulo Coelho’s books that I heard of.

I read it once when I was at university and, quite frankly, I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.

It was a beautifully written story about a shepherd boy in pursuit of his dreams, but I found it to be futilely pessimistic.

I read it again many years later when I too was in the business of actively pursuing my dreams.

All of a sudden, I understood why everyone loved the book so much.

Hidden within this apparently simple story were deep life truths that I could now finally relate to because I had a little more life experience. 🙂 (Still, I think the story was just a little fatalistic. Does anyone out there feel the same way?)
