Every few decades a book appears which changes the life of its readers forever. “The
Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho was one of
these books. It is the story of Santiago, a young Andalussian shepherd, who
dreams of travelling the world in search of the most wonderful treasure that has ever been found. He makes the journey from his home in Spain to the exotic market of Tangiers, and then through the deserts of Egypt, where he has a fateful meeting with the
alchemist. On the way he talks to many people who are answering the call of their hearts and simply declares wise thoughts… “The Alchemist” is a life-changing book about wisdom, about the necessity of listening to your heart, of reading the signs which are written on the path of life, and above all about following your dreams.
