The archer / Paulo Coelho ; illustrations by Christoph Niemann ; translated by Margaret Jull Costa.
"This is an inspiring fable about the importance of taking risks and overcoming difficulty. It is told from the perspective of Tetsuya, a famous former archer, and his apprentice"--
Tetsuya was once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow. He has retired from public life when a boy comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life. -- adapted from jacket
