About this listen

 A journey to the past. A map for the future.

Drawing on the rich experience of his own life, bestselling author Paulo Coelho relives the dreams of a generation that longed for peace and challenged the established social order.

In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a skinny Brazilian with a goatee, learning about himself by exploring the world.

Travelling on the 'Death Train to Bolivia', on to Peru, Paulo hitchhikes through Chile and Argentina and into Amsterdam. In the famous Dam Square he meets Karla, a young Dutch woman in her twenties who has been waiting to find the ideal companion to accompany her on the fabled hippie trail to Nepal. Together with their fellow travellers, they embark on a trip aboard the Magic Bus, heading across Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu.

For everyone, the journey is transformative. For Paulo and Karla it is a life-defining love story that leads to choices that will set the course of the rest of their lives.©2018 Paulo Coelho (P)2018 Penguin Random House Australia Biographical Fiction Friendship Genre Fiction Metaphysical & Visionary Fiction Latin America Biography Nepal

Took me a few times to get into it. For those who did Europe of $5 a day - which I didn't - may find it nostalgic. Not the best Coelho I have read but I always appreciate the travelogue pilgrimage his writing gifts me.

I've read all his books and this was probably my least favourite. It was still enjoyable though.

Not his best book but still enjoyable.

Enjoyable to listen to, mostly on weeknights. The narration was perfect- a perfect balance. Also, the quality of acting talent is superb.
