Summary ofThe Warrior of the LightFrom Paulo CoelhoSummary StationIn The Warrior of the Light, Paulo Coelho has crafted a code for daily life which contains elements of morality, pragmatism, and empathy drawn from multiple sources spanning different cultures and regions. He synthesizes sources as disparate as the Christian Bible and Lao Tzu's Art of War among others to create a code that, if sometimes contradictory, manages to be somehow cohesive at least in the sense that each lesson can be applied to some set of circumstances that most people will encounter at some point in their lives.The narrative structure is decidedly minimalist. The prologue and epilogue act as a basic framework within which the book is set: a mysterious woman explaining the rules for a "warrior of the light" to a man who is writing them down. Presumably, the book we are reading is the result of that transaction.
