The Zahir - Paulo Coelho

The Zahir (2005) - Paulo Coelho 191 Pages | PDF | 1.02 MB | RS Book Description: Just like one of his previous books, The Alchemist, Zahir is about pilgrimage. Additional themes are love, loss and obsession. It was originally written in Portuguese and has been translated into 44 languages. Iran was the first country to publish the book in the world, in Persian, by his Iranian publisher Caravan. The reason was that Iran has never signed any of the international copyright agreements and Caravan Publishing House and Paulo Coelho agreed to publish it first in Farsi, so that the book would fall under the national copyright law of Iran, restricting piracy. This is a rare condition when a book is published first, in a language other than the authors native language. However, the book was banned in Iran, a few months after its publication, during the 18th Tehran International Book Fair. The story is extremely autobiographical but is intended as a work of fiction. The Zahir means 'the obvious' or 'unable to go unnoticed' in Arabic. The story revolves around the narrator, a bestselling novelist's search for his missing wife, Esther. He enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. He is suspected of foul play by the authorities and the press of having a role to play in the inexplicable disappearance of his wife from their Paris home.
