Here Paulo Coelho details his journey across Spain along the legendaryroad of San Tiago, which pilgrims have travelled since Middle Ages. On this contemporary quest, he encounters a Chaucerian variety of mysterious guides and devilish opponents and learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life. The Pilgrimage holds an important place in Paulo Coelho's literary canon. His first book, it not only paved the way for his phenomenal novel The Alchemist , but it also fully expresses his humanist philosophy and the depth of his unique search for meaning.

Just like in the Alchemist

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I started reading this last week, a month or so after I read the Alchemist. This story held the same mystical magic in it as the Alchemist, but the religious undertones were much more pronounced because of the actual journey. Just like in the Alchemist, I felt like Coelho was pausing the story from time to time to say something directly to me, the reader. He had such wonderful messages about how to experience agape love, let go of the things that tether us, and free ourselves from the things that are distracting us from our true destiny. I'm convinced that I must now try to read everything Coelho has written (which is a lot!). He's truly a wonderful writer and offers God given words.

Fascinating and Intense, But Be Prepared to (Slightly) Suspend Your Belief in Reality

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book about the Camino de Santiago is slightly bizarre, a bit peculiar and actually quite curious. It is also intensely spiritual. Despite the subject matter—a pilgrimage hike of 500 miles (mostly) through Spain to the shrine of St. James the Great in Galicia—its focus is not so much on the physical walk but rather an existential examination of the meaning of life.

Written by Paulo Coelho, the book greatly surprised me. After the first few pages, I had to confirm I was reading nonfiction and not a novel of magical realism. It is nonfiction, but the stories he tells feel like magic at times. Coelho participated in the pilgrimage in a quest to find his sword—the ultimate accomplishment—as part of the initiation into a religious group called the Order of the RAM. Along the way, he meets and fights with his personal devil in the guise of a dog, encounters mysterious guides, supernatural beings, and is taught a series of "exercises" to reach deep inside his soul. In one of those exercises he sees when he will die. He experiences the occult, miracles, physical and spiritual tests, personal battles, life lessons, and the all-consuming power of agape love.

It's a fascinating book, albeit quite intense. Read it for spiritual insight and be prepared to (slightly) suspend your belief in reality.

Paul Coelho's journey

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have walked to Santiago twice, once west across the northern tier of Spain and once north from Porto near the Portuguese coast. I caught myself wishing I had read Coelho's book before starting on the Strange Road to Santiago. Now I'm relieved that I didn't because my experience of the pilgrimage was so similar to his in the most meaningful ways. I needed to discover it for myself. I plan to walk to Santiago again in a few weeks on the gentle route south from Spain's Atlantic coast, and I'll do it with the special joy of taking my friend Coelho's along.

This is a great book however it is missing the last chapter!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Below is what I had written in March 2017 but I found out in July 2017 that this book is not ended properly. It is missing the last chapter Santiago de Compostela. The previous chapter is not properly ended either. "...caused the blade of my sword to glisten" was not how Paulo Coelho finished the book. I think all purchaser of the book deserve an explanation from Amazon and HarperOne. I found this very bizarre. So I changed from an original 5-star rating to a 2-star.

I read The Pilgrimage more than once. The first time I read it was when I was traveling in Spain and Morocco. This is the type of books that feeds our souls. Though Paulo has other books perhaps more popular The Pilgrimage remains my favorite. It is more for mature readers. I recommend it to everyone who wants to add a bit food to our spiritual journey and pursue life with enthusiasm, wisdom and courage.

If you love the Alchemist

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you love the Alchemist, and want to see not only the inspiration, but the real life practice of that book's lessons, this book is for you. I also highly recommend Paulo's other autobiographical novels (of which I've read all but one, his newest work, "Hippie") Aleph and The Valkryies. These books not only give you insight into Paulo's life, and the mystery/magical elements of the world, but they also provide a window into the evolution of his marriage to his wife Christina. As for the Pilgrimage, I have bought this book repeatedly for others because I believe it is THE book to show you the way to faith, as well as the way BACK to it, without the preachiness of relgious rhetoric. Check it out. You won't regret it.

Not what I expected!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I think my own expectations lessened my liking for this book. I was not expecting a how-to walk the Camino, but perhaps a more objective real-life account of one’s personal experience. This genre, which I can’t even name or describe, is unfamiliar to me, and I struggle with “this really happened?” Or “Is this just fantasy?” I’m not familiar with Coelho’s style of writing, and this just didn’t win me over. But...I stuck with it, wanting to see if there was resolution.

The Journey through the Pilgrimage

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

~Summary~
The Pilgrimage is about one mans journey to find himself through the excuse of finding his sword. At first, the main character had gone through a set of trails not specifically talked about in the book, to earn the right to have his sword. But because of his impatiance, he has to prove himself by taveling down the Road of Santiago. There, he meets his mentor who will teach him the practices that he has to use to find his sword. The main meat of the book is the main character on this journey. Whether he finds his sword or not will be up to you to find out.

~Impressions~
To be honest, there were parts of this book that made it hard to read. Some parts just made you loes intrest. But to conteract that, there were parts where the words flowed naturally off of the page to make not reading on to the next chapter hard. The book teaches a lot about the human mind and how most people think and I found that interesting. I loved how it emphsized the importance of having mental toughness in life as that is truth.

~Recommendations~
I would recommend this book to anyone having trouble finding themselves. This book has a lot to do with that and may provide some answers for said person. Coming from a teenage male perspective, I feel like it can relate a bit to my group. Would read again in a few years.

is so perfect at being able to do

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

One of Coelho's more fundamental sharing of learning's for the world. A book, simply, that allows one to open one's mind to so many important aspects of life, that, a Journey such as he undertakes in this book, is so perfect at being able to do.

It's not worth going into summarising the plethora of learning's as this would spoil the book and make this review unnecessarily long. Simply, anyone can extract much value from this book; I very, very much recommend you join Coelho on this particular journey.

For all religions, creeds, whatever ... Universal in concept.

This is my favorite book from Paulo and I read it more than once. It is more for mature readers. Not until recently I found the ending of the book changed from a previous version. I think either the author or the publisher wanted to match the ending somewhat like the Alchemist which I think it bizarre. The Pilgrimage sends a very powerful message at the end and along the way. After reading the book you feel you truly have learned. This is a must read for anyone.

The Pilgrimage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A wonderful read when I bought it I wasn't really sure what I expected. But after reading the first chapter I was hooked on the journey with Paulo and his guide petrus. I bought the pilgrimage because I'm planning on making the same journey early next year I don't think as a pilgrimage just simply because it's been something I've wanted to do for a long time. But when I go I will definitely be taking Paulo and Petrus with me every step of the way.

Coelho's book, like life, is a journey. It incites the reader to think with not just their minds, but through their heart and soul too. It also makes you understand that time is only a concept of the mind. A very thought provoking book, that I thoroughly enjoyed journeying with.

I bought this book because I was interested in the Camino de Santiago and it gives some good insight into a journey that 'pilgrims' take. It was a little too heavy on the religious side for me but still enjoyable despite this.

One of Coelho's best books. I've read many of his other books before I decided to read the one that started his career. It really makes me want to go back to Stantiago de Compostella and even walk el Camino. There is no prerequisite of religion to enjoy this book.

I read this book for the first time ten years ago or so. Since that moment my life has changed for the better. I recently purchased this version of the book to keep as the words contained inside are so special to me.

Since reading the book life has led me along a path that has many good times, and also many bad times, but the journey has been exhilarating.

Read with a open mind and translate the symbolism in your mind. you will not be disappointed.

This book is worth a read but for me it didn’t grip me as much as some of his other work.

With the Alchemist, I read page to page and couldn’t put it down but felt this book didn’t have the same grasp over me.

A nice read though and thought provoking.

One does not need to be particularly religious, nor a catholic, to enjoy this book. There are lessons for everyone lurking in the corners and just beneath the surface of the story. Very well written and worthy of another read, albeit after some time
