Adaptations
Christmas Stories Between 1998 and 2008, every December, Paulo Coelho has written a Christmas story to bid farewell to the past year. In them, the author has shared his experiences and thoughts with millions of readers around the world in more than sixty-four countries and, aside from cultures and religions, they’ve been able to enjoy those stories. This special e-book edition of his Christmas Stories features the ten Christmas stories written by the author throughout that decade.
Love Letters of a Prophet (By Kahlil Gibran) The great challenge lies in discovering our unique self, asking ourselves questions, and trying to search for answers. Kahlil Gibran, with his work, has helped those searching for answers and enjoying the adventure of self-discovery. However, where Kahlil Gibran’s goodness of his soul is revealed is in his letters to Maria Haskell, the love of his life. To discover the man behind The Prophet, Paulo Coelho has compiled, translated, and adapted part of this intimate correspondence.
The Supreme Gift (By Henry Drummond) At the end of the nineteenth century, the young missionary Henry Drummond had to replace a famous priest. Although at first he wasn’t able to convince his parishioners, he soon captured their attention with the analysis of the words of Paul the Apostle. His sermon, The Greatest Thing in the World, has become a classic and is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful texts ever written about love. The Supreme Gift is a translation and free adaptation by Paulo Coelho based on the original work by Henry Drummond. 19
