Aleph

Style and Technique

In «Aleph», Paulo Coelho employs an autobiographical style, intertwining real events with elements of magical realism. The language of the work is rich in symbolism and metaphors, allowing for a deeper immersion into the author's philosophical reflections. Coelho often uses dialogues to convey spiritual and existential questions, as well as internal monologues to reveal the inner world of the main character. The narrative structure is nonlinear, with frequent shifts between different temporal and spatial planes, emphasizing the theme of journey and the search for life's meaning. Literary devices such as allegories and parallels with religious and mythological plots help create a layered narrative and invite the reader to a profound contemplation of the text.
