the Zahir
A NOVEL OF OBSESSION
-
by Paulo Coelho
-
"The Zahir" means "the present" or unable to get noticed" in Arabic.
---
The story revolves on the narrator and his wife for ten (10) years who have gone missing for no clear reasons at all. The narrator is a bestselling novelist who lives in France and enjoys all the privileges his money and being a celebrity can bring. Esther (his wife), is a war correspondent who has disappeared along with a friend Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover.
---
Was Esther kidnapped, murdered or escaped her marriage?
---
The narrator doesn't have any answer and many questions on how to start looking for Esther.
---
One day Mikhail appeared to the abandoned husband and promises to reunite him with his wife.
---
"One day because of a woman, I made a long pilgrimage in order to find a dream. Many years later, the same woman had made me set-off again, this time to find a man who had gotten lost along the way" said the narrator.
---
The book is a GENIUS. Paulo Coelho knows how to satisfy his readers. He made my day again. While reading the book I was putting myself in the narrator's shoes..hahahha... The book is a MUST READ. You will experience everything you want to ... you will smile, laugh, cry, fall in love, travel, walk with him along the streets of Paris, meet people from different walks of like and you will find or rediscover yourself as well and become a free man. I LOVE THE BOOK... so much !!!!

QUOTES from "THE ZAHIR"
---
* the game of seduction always adds a little zest to life.
--
* it would be better merely to suffer as I had in the past, when other people I love left me. It would be better just to lick my wounds, as I had also done in the past. For a while, I'll think obsessively about her, I'll become embittered, I'll bore my friends because all I ever talk about is my wife leaving me.
--
* My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more.
--
* i want to believe that it is wonderful to be free. Free again. Ready to find my one true love, who is waiting for me and who will never allow me to experience such humiliation again.
--
* Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose and commit myself to - what is best for me.
--
* We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop.
--
* ..but I decide to live each moment as if it were the last.
--
* ..in order to be able to find her, I first had to find myself.
--
* ..we just don't all have the courage to follow oue dreams and to follow the signs.
--
* what the eye doesn't see, the heart does't grieve over.
--
* once touched or seen, can never be forgotten, and which gradually so fills our thoughts that we are driven to madness.
--
* Yes, we are all cathedrals, there is no doubt about it; but what lies in the empty space of my inner cathedral?
--
* When people praise us, we should always keep a close eye on how we behave.
--
* The energy of hatred won't get you anywhere, but the energy of forgiveness, which reveals itself through love, will transform your life in a positive way.
--
* When I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything. When I ceased to be who I am, I found myself. When I experience humiliation and yet kept on walking, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny. Perhaps there's something wrong with me. I don't know, perhaps my marriage was a dream I couldn't understand while it lasted. All I know is that even though I can live without her, I would still like to see her again, to say what I never said when we were together: I love you more that I love myself. If I could say that, I could go on living, at peace with myself, because that love has redeemed me.
--
* That day that man allows true love to appear, those things which are well made will fall into confusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true. -dante, divine comedy
--
* Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.
--
* LOve Love is the only thing that activates our intelligence and our creativity, that purifies and liberates us.
--
* Don't be afraid; the only way to avoid tht suffering would be to refuse to love. (yeba!!!hahha)
--
* I believe that every single day people are offered the chance to make the best possible decision about everything they do. I believe that I failed and that, at some point, I lost my connection with the woman I loved. And now, all I need is to put and end to that cycle..
--
* ..what we need to learn is always there before us, we just have to look around us with respect and attention in order to discover where God is leading us and which step we should take next.
--
* God does not play dice with the universe; everything is interconnected and has a meaning. That meaning may remain hidden nearly all the time, but we always know we are close to our true mission on earth when we are doing is touched with the energy of enthusiasm. - einstein
--
* It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't mater what we call it; what maters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. Slowly I began to realize that I could not go back and force things to be as they once were: those two years, which up until then had seemed an endless inferno, were now beginning to show me their true meaning.
--
* ..The important things always stay; what we lose are the things we thought were important but which are, in fact, useless, like the false power we use to control the energy of love.
--
* That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, do't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. NOt out of pride, inability, or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close thendoor, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.
--
* What is important, necessary, essential, is to act as if nothing is happening, because it's too late to change.
--
* What remains will be the love that moves the heavens, the stars, people, flowers, insects, the love that obliges us to walk across the ice despite that danger, that fills us with joy and with fear, and gives meaning to everything.
--
* I write because I want to be loved.
--
* Mediocrity and anonymity are the safer choice. If you opt for them, you'll never face any major problems in life. but if you try to be different..
--
* Although I know that I may have lost forever the woman I love, I must try to enjoy all the graces taht God has given me today. Grace cannot be hoarded. There are no banks where it can be deposited to be used when I feel more at peace with myself. If I do not make full use of these blessings, I will lose them forever.
God knows that we are all artist of life. One day he gives us a hammer with which to make sculptures, another day he gives us brushes and paint with which to make a picture, or paper and a pencil to write with. but you cannot make a painting with a hammer, or a sculpture with a paintbrush. Therefore, however difficult it maybe, I must accept today's small blessing, even if they seem like curses because I am suffering and it's a beautiful day, the sun shining, and the children are singing in the street. This is the only way I will manage to leave my pain behind and rebuild my life.
--
* Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured.
--
* I was still very bruised. I couldn't believe it was possible to love again.
--
* He said that my past would always go with me, but that the more I freed myself from facts and concentrated on emotions, the more I would come to realize that in the present there is always a space as vast as the steppes waiting to be filled with more love and with more of life's joy.
