Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho was born on 24 August 1947 in Rio de Janeiro. As a teenager, he was committed three times to a clinic according to Letras, which also says he was associated with Raul Seixas, whom he met in 1972, for songs that marked Brazilian rock. On 28 May 1974, under the dictatorship, he was arrested, then abducted and tortured, as he recounted in 2019. In 1986, he walked the Camino de Santiago from the south of France, an experience from which he drew a book the following year. He was elected in 2002 to the Brazilian Academy of Letters, according to the same site.
