Manuscript Found in Accra

The incredible new novel from internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist. After lying undiscovered for over 700 years, a manuscript holding the answers to a city's final questions is unearthed from a cave in Cairo. Centuries before, on the eve of the invasion of Accra, the citizens gathered. A man stood before them and invited the people share their fears that he might offer hope and comfort. His extraordinary insights on courage, solitude, loyalty and loss were transcribed and passed on. A timeless and powerful exploration of personal growth, everyday wisdom and joy. 'One of the few to deserve the term "publishing phenomenon"' Independent on Sunday 'His books have had a life-enhancing impact on millions of people.' The Times 'His writing is like a path of energy that inadvertently leads readers to themselves, toward their mysterious and faraway souls.' Le Figaro 'Coelho's writing is beautifully poetic but his message is what counts... he gives me hope and puts a smile on my face.' Daily Express 'An exceptional writer.' USA Today
