WHO IS PAULO COELHO

Paulo Coelho de Souza was born in Rio de Janeiro on August 24, 1947, the son of Lygia Araripe with Pedro Paulo Queima Coelho de Souza. She is a descendant of Bárbara de Alencar, grandmother of also writer José de Alencar and one of the leaders of the Pernambucana Revolution. Coming from an upper class family, Paulo Coelho joined the traditional Colégio Santo Inácio in his hometown, then capital of Brazil, at the age of 7. From an early age, he liked to write and kept a diary. At school, he participated in poetry contests and theater courses with his colleague Paulo Cunha. However, his father wanted him to be an engineer and his mother discouraged him from pursuing a writing career. The fights with the parents were constant and Paulo had many crises of depression and anger in his adolescence, having been hospitalized three times in a nursing home, where he was treated by psychologists. In the 1960s, he entered the world of theater, as a director and actor, creating pieces aimed at experimental and avant-garde theater, but achieving little expressiveness.
