The Celestine Prophecy by author James Redfield, first published in 1993, quickly became a worldwide literary phenomenon.

For three years, Celestine's Prophecy was on the New York Times bestseller list. To date, the work has been translated into 34 languages with tens of millions of copies sold.

The book revolves around the adventures of high school teacher John as he travels to Peru in search of an ancient book containing the secrets of the Inca culture. During this journey, John meets local people and archaeologists, thereby discovering the ultimate secrets of the universe.

John gradually embarks on the path of self-enlightenment. Each enlightenment contains answers that mankind has been waiting for for hundreds of years. The important thing is that the main character, as well as the reader, must discover these enlightenments for themselves through their own life experiences.

As author James Redfield writes: "At this moment in history, perhaps more than at any other, we seem to have a greater intuitive sense of the meaning of all the meaningful events that coincide so coincidentally occur in our lives.

Events seem to happen at just the right time, leading us to meet destined people, causing our lives to suddenly take a new and exciting direction.

We realize that life is truly a journey filled with exciting, mysterious and special discoveries for each individual spiritually.

We also realize that once we grasp the meaning of what is happening, and find a way to sustain this process of revelation and transformation, humanity will make a quantum leap to a completely new way of life. A way of life that we humans have been striving to achieve throughout history."

Celestine Prophecy is a combination of fiction and philosophy, helping readers understand more about religious, spiritual and philosophical issues. The themes in the book include: the search for meaning in life, the relationship between humans and the universe, the power of love and connection.

James Redfield used intelligent and easy to understand writing to convey the message clearly.

The book is specially introduced by Professor John Vu, former Director of the Biotechnology and Computational Innovation Program at Carnegie Mellon University, former chief engineer of Boeing, with high praise:

" The Celestine Prophecy is a spiritual book, but it can be for all ages, suitable for today's times. Many people will feel the profound things in this book and some will enjoy the plot, unexpected changes of an adventurous, risky and extremely meaningful journey".

James Redfield was born in 1950 in a rural area of Alabama (USA). He is particularly interested in human potential and the journey of spiritual transformation.

James Redfield studied interactional psychology, Eastern and Western philosophy, science, history, and mysticism while majoring in sociology at Auburn University.

He then received his Master's degree and spent over 15 years as a counselor and therapist for abused adolescents. During this time, he became fascinated with human potential, intuition theories, and the individual's spiritual journey of evolution.
