The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Product Details

About the Book

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. After a recurring dream leads him to consult a Gypsy fortune-teller and a mysterious old king who speaks of a "Personal Legend" — one's true calling in life — Santiago sets out on a transformative journey across the Spanish countryside and the deserts of North Africa toward the Egyptian pyramids.

Along the way, Santiago encounters a con man who robs him, a crystal merchant who teaches him patience, an Englishman searching for an alchemist, and finally Fatima, a desert woman he comes to love, and the alchemist himself, who leads Santiago through the final, most difficult stretch of his quest. Each character and trial teaches Santiago to read the omens strewn along life's path and, above all, to follow his heart. Combining the parable-like simplicity of a fable with rich philosophical and spiritual reflection, The Alchemist has become a touchstone for millions of readers exploring the ideas of destiny, self-discovery, and the pursuit of one's dreams.
