Costa's translation is competent, but cannot save Coelho's novel from its by now familiar and conventionally inspirational tone and message"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Les guerriers de la lumière se reconnaissent au premier regard. Ils sont au monde, ils font partie du monde et ils ont été envoyés au monde sans besace ni sandales. Souvent ils sont lâches.
