Paulo Coelho, geb. 1947 in Rio de Janeiro, studierte Rechtswissenschaften, unternahm danach Reisen nach Südamerika, Europa und Nordafrika. Zurück in Brasilien, veröffentlichte er Theaterstücke und provokative Rocksongs, die ihm über die Militarjunta der 70er Jahre dreimal Gefängnis einbrachten. Er ist Herausgeber einer Untergrundzeitschrift, eines Musikmagazins sowie Direktor von Polygram und CBS, Brasilien. Ab 1980 (Stellenverlust) 5 Jahre Studium in einem alten spanischen Orden und Zurücklegung des Pilgerwegs nach Santiago de Compostela. 2006 wurde Paulo Coelho mit dem mexikanischen Literaturpreis "Las Pergolas" ausgezeichnet.
This is a modern-day adventure story featuring Paulo's supernatural encounter with angels - who appear as warrior women and travel through the Mojave desert on their motorbikes.
Haunted by a devastating curse, Paulo is instructed by his mysterious spiritual master to embark upon a journey - to find and speak to his guardian angel in an attempt to confront and overcome his dark past. The Valkyries is a compelling account of this forty day quest into the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, where Paulo and his wife, Chris, encounter the Valkyries - warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles, spreading the word of angels.
This exotic spiritual odyssey is a rare combination of truth, myth, imagination and inspiration. Ultimately it is a story about being able to forgive our past and believe in our future.
