The Archer
From the #1 best-selling author of The Alchemist comes an inspiring story about a young man seeking wisdom from an elder, and the practical lessons imparted along the way. Includes stunning illustrations by Christoph Niemann.
“A novelist who writes in a universal language.” —The New York Times
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 tenets of a meaningful life. Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer.
With the wisdom, generosity, simplicity, and grace that have made him an international best seller, Paulo Coelho provides the framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, purpose, thoughtfulness, the willingness to fail, and the urge to make a difference.

Reviews
Paulo Coehlo, in my opinion, is a master in conveying the need to achieve inner peace and enlightenment, as well as a connection with the world around you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which only takes an hour or so to read. Take the time to reflect on each sentence. The book is arranged in a way that’s conducive to pausing and allowing the words to sink in. The illustrations are beautiful as well. Highly recommended for readers of all ages.

As an archer myself, was naturally drawn to this book. Coelho is one of my favorite authors of all time so very excited to see he also enjoyed this hobby. His ability to touch deeply the internal process of archery made me look at my own archery with fresh perspective. My goals are no longer on a score card, but rather in my heart. Instead of hoping for a center shot, I strive for a perfect release or artful form. A great example of archery as an art form, philosophy and spiritual practice. Recommended for anyone looking to practice something with deep intention.
