In this paper, the aim is to explore the profile of Paulo Coelho’s readers. The adopted viewpoint is that of “who reads, how they read, and why they read . It seeks to identify the social, cultural and subjective meanings implied in this reading, as well as apprehend the meaning for the personal life of the reader attributed to this reading.
