About this item

El autor de EL ALQUIMISTA revela en esta novela profundamente reflexiva que la gran sabiduría de la vida es que podemos ser dueños de las cosas que intentan esclavizarnos. No hay arma más poderosa que las palabras 14 de julio de 1099. Mientras Jerusalén se prepara para la invasión de los cruzados, un griego convoca una reunión con los jóvenes y los viejos, los hombres y las mujeres de la ciudad. El misterioso hombre, conocido por todos como Copta, no busca unirse a ninguna religión en particular, pero guarda en su memoria todo lo que ha escuchado para poder transmitirlo a las generaciones futuras. “A partir de mañana, lo que era armonía se transformará en discordia. Lo que era alegría será sustituido por luto. Lo que era paz dará lugar a una guerra”, dijo Copta. “Nadie sabe lo que nos reserva el mañana, porque cada día trae su mal o su bien”, siguió. “Por lo tanto, al preguntar lo que desean saber, olvidarán a las tropas que están allá afuera y el miedo que traen dentro. Nuestro legado no será decir a aquellos que heredarán la tierra lo que sucedió el día de hoy; la historia se encargará de hacerlo. Hablaremos, entonces, de nuestra vida cotidiana, de las dificultades que nos vimos obligados a enfrentar”. Reunidos en la plaza, mientras esperan el ataque enemigo, la gente empieza a preguntar. Le preguntan acerca de los verdaderos enemigos, la derrota, la soledad. Le hacen preguntas sobre la lucha, el cambio, la belleza, el camino a seguir. Y después le preguntan sobre el amor, la lealtad, el destino, el sexo y la elegancia, el miedo, la ansiedad, la sabiduría y lo que aguarda en el futuro —todo esto y más. Y Copta les contestó. Ahora, casi mil años más tarde, las respuestas de este hombre sabio siguen siendo validas, y El manuscrito encontrando en Accra nos muestra los inextinguibles valores que quedan después de que todo ha sido destruido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 International Bestselling author of THE ALCHEMIST reveals in this deeply thoughtful novel that the great wisdom of life is that we can be masters of the things that try to enslave us. “There is nothing wrong with anxiety. Although we cannot control God’s time, it is part of the human condition to want to receive the thing we are waiting for as quickly as possible. Or to drive away whatever is causing fear. Anxiety was born in the very same moment as mankind. And since we will never be able to master it, we will have to learn to live with it—just as we have learned to live with storms." 1099. Jerusalem awaits the invasion of the crusaders who have surrounded the city’s gates. There, inside the ancient city’s walls, women and men of every age and faith have gathered to hear the wisdom of a mysterious man known only as the Copt. As the wise man speaks of loyalty, fear, bravery and solitude, of love, sex, beauty and elegance, his words offer truth and guidance, and reveal the human values that have endured throughout time—then as now, his words reveal who we are, what we fear and what we hope for the future.
