My Greatest Author Of The 21st Century

Paulo

Paulo Coelho de Souza is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. He is one of my favorite authors and a big inspiration in my life.His life story is one of the things that made me want to read his novels. Coelho was born in a Catholic Family his parents were strict about the religion and faith. Coelho later remarked that "It wasn't that they wanted to hurt me, but they didn't know what to do... They did not do that to destroy me, they did that to save me.". As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this At 17, Coelho's introversion and opposition to following a traditional path led to his parents committing him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 20.Very much like my life when i wanted to pursue my tech journey ,my parents did not approve. his story and books have taught me to be resilient.One of his famous books The Alchemist sold over 1500 million copies.
