An extraordinary mixture of adventure story and guide to self-knowledge, this book recounts the spectacular trials of Paulo and his mentor, Petrus, as they journey across Spain in search of a miraculous sword.
A compelling tale that delivers a powerful brew of magic and insight, The Pilgrimage recounts the amazing trials of Paulo Coelho and his mysterious mentor, Petrus, as they journey across Spain in search of a miraculous sword – on a legendary road travelled by pilgrims of San Tiago since the Middle Ages.
Paulo’s visionary blend of mysticism, magical realism and folklore makes this an adventure story with a difference.

圣地亚哥之路，中世纪的苦行朝圣之路。1986年，保罗·柯艾略踏上朝圣之旅，历时三个月，徒步近六百公里。朝圣之路点亮了灵感之光，也成为柯艾略找寻自己道路的预言。后来，《朝圣》问世，开启了“牧羊少年奇幻之旅”，也挖掘了人类灵魂探寻的深度。

‘And now, before the sacred countenance of RAM, you must touch with your hands the Word of Life and acquire such power as you need to become a witness to that Word throughout the World’:
The master raised high my new sword, still sheathed in its scabbard. The flames on the bonfire crackled — a good omen, indicating that the ritual should continue. I knelt and, with my bare hands, began to dig into the earth.
It was the night of January 2, 1986, and we were in Itatiaia, high on one of the peaks in the Serra do Mai dose to the formation known as the Agulhas Negras (Black Needles) in Brazil. My Master and I were accompanied by my wife, one of my disciples, a local guide, and a representative of the great fraternity that is comprised of esoteric orders from all over the world - the fraternity known as ‘The Tradition’ The five of us — and the guide. who had been told what was to happen - were participating in my ordination as a Master of the Order of RAM.
I finished digging a smooth, elongated hole in the dirt. With great solemnity, I placed my hands on the earth and spoke the ritual words. My wife drew near and handed me the sword I had used for more than ten years; it had been a great help to me during hundreds of magical operations. I placed it in the hole I had dug, covered it with dirt, and smoothed the surface As I did so, I thought of the many tests I had endured, of all I had learned, and of the strange phenomena I had been able to invoke simply because I had had that ancient and friendly sword with me. Now it was to be devoured by the earth, the iron of its blade and the wood of its hilt returning to nourish the source from which its power had come.
