Spanish term

Deseo, a todas las personas que lean este libro, que se atrevan a descubrir

Spanish to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Y deseo, a todas las personas que lean este libro, que se atrevan a descubrir el poder de la verdadera amistad.

I guess it can be something like:

"And I wish that the people who read this book find the courage to discover the power of true friendship."

But I'm not too sure.

Thanks!

I'm with Robert ... no changes really necessary, but I prefer "hope" to "wish"

You COULD also use "... all my readers", but only if this fits the context; this might depend for instance on whether the author has a regular readership
Robert Carter Dec 15, 2020:
That sounds fine to me for the most part, though perhaps you might think about changing it from "I wish..." to "I hope everyone reading this book will find the courage..."

I hope this book will encourage you/readers

If this is from the book itself, I would address the reader directly and say " you".

If it's from somewhere else, for example the writer being interviewed about the book, I'd say "readers".
