Drawing on the rich experience of his own life, best-selling author Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to relive the dreams of a generation that longed for peace and dared to challenge the established social order. In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a young, skinny Brazilian man with a goatee and long, flowing hair, who wants to become a writer and sets off on a journey in search of a deeper meaning for his life: first on the famous "Death Train"...

Powieść o wolności, o młodzieńczym buncie i poszukiwaniu siebie. W swojej najbardziej autobiograficznej powieści Paulo Coelho pozwala nam przeżyć na nowo wielkie marzenie pokolenia hipisów o pacyfistycznej przemianie świata.
