“I firmly believe that everyone has another part, some people fortunately find it but others have to wait a lot or they never got it. Brida is a great story about the search of answers to your questions, about the quest for love and happiness, and realizing your dreams by following your heart, told in a very clear way and easy to read and understand.” -Anonymous Reader

Brida is an Irish young woman, who like Santiago, the Alchemist, is also in search of her personal legend!!! She had to follow her heart! She found a teacher from the tradition of the Sun, and another from the tradition of the Moon, she learnt what she had to learn from both of them!

“An anonymous text says that each person, during his or her life, can adopt one of two attitudes: building or planting. Builders can take years to finish their tasks but one day they do finish and then they are hemmed in by their own walls. Life loses its meaning once the building is over. Those who plant may suffer storms and can rarely rest, but the garden never ceases to grow, and although it requires the constant attention of the gardener, it also allows life to be a great adventure. In the history of each plant is the growth of the whole earth.” - Paulo Coelho

About Author:
Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His life has in many ways been as varied and unusual as the protagonists of his internationally acclaimed novels. Like them, he followed a dream in a quest for fulfillment. His dream, to be a writer, met with frustration throughout much of his early adult life, a time in which he worked at various professions, some of them materially rewarding but spiritually unfulfilling. “I always knew,” he says, “that my Personal Legend, to use a term from alchemy, was to write.” He was 38 when he published his first book.
