The Alchemist
Paulo coelho
Description
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, following our dreams.
Review
It's funny that for all my love of fantasy, this was the book that got me out of a 2 year reading slump. As is usually common with me, I saw a quote and I found the book. This was a great blend of philosophy and folklore. it's about a journey, in the chracters case physical but which could also be translated as a fictional reflection of the journey of life and how several choices and the people we meet still eventually set us back to our path in the greater purpose of the universe.
