A beautiful book of simple yet powerful wisdom for anyone who loved THE SECRET or THE CELESTINE PROPHECY, by the author of THE ALCHEMIST. 'Only he who gives up is defeated. Everyone else is victorious.' After lying undiscovered for over 700 years, a manuscript holding the answers to a city's final questions is unearthed. Centuries before, on the eve of the invasion of Jerusalem, the citizens gathered. A man stood before them and invited the people share their fears that he might offer hope and comfort. His extraordinary insights on courage, solitude, loyalty and loss were transcribed and passed on. A timeless and powerful exploration of personal growth, everyday wisdom and joy.

Quotes

    The summer would like to make its warm days last for ever, because it believes that warmth is good for the Earth, but, in the end, it has to accept the arrival of autumn, which will allow the Earth to rest.
  • alyaa1700119has quoted4 years ago
    ‘None of us can know what tomorrow will hold, because each day has its good and its bad moments. So, when you ask your questions, forget about the troops outside and the fear inside. Our task is not to leave a record of what happened on this date for those who will inherit the Earth; history will take care of that. We will speak, therefore, about our daily lives, about the difficulties we have had to face. That is all the future will be interested in, because I do not believe very much will change in the next thousand years.

    able to rebuild Jerusalem, not just as a city, but as a centre of knowledge and a place where peace will once again reign.’
