Hippie

Posted on by

In Hippie, his most autobiographical novel to date, Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to re live the dream of a generation that longed for peace and dared to challenge the established social order authoritarian politics, conservative modes of behavior, excessive consumerism, and an unbalanced concentration of wealth and power.Following the three days of peace and music at Woodstock, the 1969 gathering in Bethel, NY that would change the world forever, hippie paradises began to emerge all around the world In the Dam Square in Amsterdam, long haired young people wearing vibrant clothes and burning incense could be found meditating, playing music and discussing sexual liberation, the expansion of consciousness and the search for an inner truth They were a generation refusing to live the robotic and unquestioning life that their parents had known.At this time, Paulo is a young, skinny Brazilian with a goatee and long, flowing hair who wants to become a writer He sets off on a journey in search of freedom and a deeper meaning for his life first, with a girlfriend, on the famous Death Train to Bolivia, then on to Peru and later hitchhiking through Chile and Argentina.His travels take him further, to the famous square in Amsterdam, where Paulo meets Karla, a Dutch woman also in her 20s She convinces Paulo to join her on a trip to Nepal, aboard the Magic Bus that travels across Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu They embark on a journey in the company of fascinating fellow travelers, each of whom has a story to tell, and each of whom will undergo a transformation, changing their priorities and values, along the way As they travel together, Paulo and Karla explore their own relationship, an awakening on every level that brings each of them to a choice and a decision that sets the course for their lives thereafter.

from his side but i feel like for some reason it s left in the middle We read about the journey of Karla and Paulo, how the relationship is growing and turning into something else Towards the end no

several of his other writings His prose is lyrical and thought provoking and I just love that it s like nothing else I ve ever read, no matter what the subject I went into this with two thoughts in my mind 1 That it s sort of a memoir of his life in the 70 s, or at least based on experiences he s had Who wouldn t want to see what experiences shaped this brilliant writer and, 2 Although I was born
