Book
The archer / Paulo Coelho ; illustrated by Christoph Niemann ; translated by Margaret Jull Costa.
Summary:
In The Archer we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenants of a meaningful life. Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill; and that a life constricted by fear of rejection is not one worth living. He pushes us as readers to take risks, build courage, and embrace the many unexpected turns in life. Paulo Coelho captures in these pages values that are the framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, thoughtfulness, the willingness to fail, and the urge to live a life of good intentions, drive, and heart. A short, powerful, and resonant work.
