Paulo Coelho - The Zahir

Bigluck — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 14:50:16 GMT

Paulo Coelho - The Zahir

The Zahir is a 2005 novel from the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho. Similarly to an earlier book, The Alchemist, the Zahir is about pilgrimage. The book touches on themes of love, loss and obsession.
The Zahir was written in Coelho's native language, Portuguese, and has been translated into 44 languages. The book was first published in Iran, in Persian, by Caravan publishing. Iran has never signed any international copyright agreements. By publishing first in Iran, the book falls under the national copyright law of Iran. This piracy fighting measure created the unusual situation where a book was first published in a language other than the author's native language. However, the book was banned in Iran a few months after its publication, during the 18th Tehran International Book Fair.

Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents.

But, as this couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences - and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined. A classic tale for modern times, Skipping Christmas offers a hilarious look at the charm and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.
