Zahir

A famous author and a war correspondent, both successful in their professions, live in an unconventional marriage in Paris. One day, the woman disappears. Was it murder, a kidnapping, or did she run away? The writer is determined to find her – his 'Zahir' (an Islamic concept for a thing or person that one cannot forget).

His search takes him to the farthest corners of the world, but also deep into his own self. In his new novel, Paulo Coelho explores what living together means for a man and a woman today, and how not to give up on the risk and adventurous search for one's 'personal legend'.
