Back in 2003, I saw the book The Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paolo Coelho. My first impulse was to buy the book because I was a fan of the author ever since I laid my claws on his book the Alchemist. I wanted to buy the book but during that time, I was as irresponsible so I always did not have enough money. As it turns out, 4 years later and after having read The Valkyries, I suddenly had this yearning to buy the book.
I can say that I have learned so many things about Paolo Coelho starting with the Alchemist, Veronika Decides to Die and Eleven minutes but it was not until I read the Valkyries that I felt this chilling sensation that Paolo Coelho is not just an author. I feel that he is also a magus in the truest sense of the word. And here he is now, writing a manual so other people can follow his path.
From what I've read, The Manual of the Warrior of Light was between 1993 and 1996 but later on consolidated as a book last 1997. It gives us the metaphor of a warrior's code of honor or bushido in the samurai's language to impart a philosophy. I am now saving up money to buy this book. I'm excited to buy this book!
