The Zahir

Paulo Coelho's The Zahir: A Review

A Story of Dark Obsession and Re-birth

Aug 22, 2009 Ingrid Calderon

Brazilian Author Paulo Coelho takes us on a voyage through the historic streets of Paris and the dunes of Kazakhstan in his novel The Zahir. The story begins with a famous journalist’s narrating perspective about his wife’s disappearance, making him the prime suspect. The mystery behind her disappearance becomes an instant obsession that leads him into an inward spiral. Unable to go on as he had before, he begins to examine where he went wrong in his marriage. In between trying to find answers and dealing with his constant affairs both extra-marital and professional, his life and career begin to make less and less sense. With traces of obsession, fame and the rigid possibility of forgiving oneself, the story presents concrete options on how to lose oneself in order to find oneself.

The Zahir's Plot and Design

From the opening chapter, Paulo Coelho introduces the reader to three important characters. There is Esther his wife, Mikhail an unidentified male and himself as the narrator. As the husband to the missing war correspondent Esther, he becomes the main suspect. After identifying his whereabouts, he is set free. Now a free man, he wanders the streets of Paris reminiscing and questioning his wife’s disappearance. He quickly becomes obsessed with what he calls The Zahir , which is derived from an Islamic tradition, Zahir in Arabic, means unable to go unnoticed, someone or something, once in contact, occupies our every thought. This state of mind could be considered holy or maddening.
