Paulo Coelho’s Aleph is part-memoir, part-novel by Paulo Coelho. Summary of the Book Paulo sets off on a journey to Africa, Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway. He seeks to find peace and spiritual renewal on the trip. He meets a young violinist named Hilal, a woman he’d loved 500 years ago. He’d betrayed her in a moment of cowardice, an act for which he is yet to find redemption. He reconnects with her after all these years in a mystic voyage through time and space, discovering love, the meaning of spirit and courage.
