Hippie

Drawing on the rich experience of his own life, bestselling author Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to relive the dreams of a generation that longed for peace. In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a young, skinny Brazilian man with a goatee & long, flowing hair, who dreams of becoming a writer, & Karla, a Dutch woman in her twenties who has been waiting to find a companion to accompany her on the fabled hippie trail to Nepal.

After meeting each other in Amsterdam, she convinces Paulo to join her on a trip aboard the Magic Bus that travels from Amsterdam to Istanbul & across Central Asia to Kathmandu. As they embark on this journey together, Paulo & Karla explore a love affair that awakens them on every level & leads to choices & decisions that will set the course for their lives thereafter.
