Thus, Paulo Coelho, the best-selling author, relies on his rich life experience to take us back to an era aimed at reviving a generation seeking peace and daring to challenge the existing social order. In 'Hippie,' Coelho tells the story of young Paulo, a slim Brazilian with long flowing hair aspiring to become a writer, embarking on a journey to find deeper meaning in his life.

Initially taking the Death Train, famous in Bolivia, to Peru, he continues as a stowaway to Chile and Argentina. Paulo eventually reaches Amsterdam's famous Dam Square, bustling with vibrant youth discussing sexual liberation, meditation, and expression.

There, he meets Carla, a captivating twenty-something Dutch woman waiting for an ideal partner to embark on the legendary hippie trail ending in Nepal. She persuades Paulo to join her on a journey aboard the magical bus traveling through Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu. Accompanied by fascinating travelers, each with a unique story, they experience personality transformations and changes in priorities and values along the way.
