The Zahir

Author: Paulo Coelho

Coelho’s “The Zahir” is a mesmerizing journey of self-discovery and obsession. I was captivated by the narrator’s quest to find his missing wife, which becomes an all-consuming fixation. The author’s signature blend of spirituality and philosophy shines through, making me ponder the nature of love and personal freedom. While the pacing occasionally meanders, the vivid characters and thought-provoking ideas kept me engrossed. A haunting exploration of what it means to truly let go.

Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose—and commit myself to—what is best for me.
