Paulo Coelho's novel 'Hippie' transports readers back to the transformative year of 1970, following the spiritual awakening of a young Brazilian named Paulo and a Dutch woman, Karla. They embark on a magical bus journey across Europe and Asia, aiming for Nepal. This pilgrimage is not merely geographical but a profound exploration of their inner selves, searching for love, freedom, and the true meaning of existence amidst the vibrant counterculture of the hippie movement. Coelho beautifully weaves themes of destiny, connection, and the universal quest for purpose, capturing the essence of an era defined by peace, music, and profound personal journeys.
