A world-renowned writer.
A war correspondent who has just returned from Iraq.
Someone disappears.
An obsession.
Two places, one journey.
She follows her truth.
He reviews his life. They
follow their destiny.
" Zahir " is a story of love, loss and tyrannical passion . A famous writer who, like Paulo Coelho , writes about spirituality and who has also travelled the path of St. James, discovers that his wife Esther, a war correspondent, has abandoned him without a trace. In search of Esther, the writer is forced to wander many roads following various clues. Like a modern-day Ulysses, he must resist temptations and find the winds that will lead him to the fundamental key: the clear discovery of his inner self. A narrative full of comments and thoughts on money, fame and marriage, "Zahir" accompanies the author, who is immersed in his obsession, in the anxiety of finding the reasons that prompted his beloved to abandon him. A work with fascinating parallels between the life of the author Paulo Coelho and the life of his hero, which make the reading even more interesting, "Zahir" is inspired by Islamic tradition and the short story "The Aleph" by Jorge Luis Borges. From there comes the concept of Zahir, this presence that completely occupies the spirit and existence of those who know that it is impossible to resist love. "The Zahir": Something or someone that when we come into contact with it, ends up occupying our thoughts little by little until we can no longer concentrate on anything else. My Zahir has a name and his name is Esther." Paulo Coelho
