The Alchemist

Book Review by: gd83    

Original Author: Paulo Coelho
This abstract was translated from l'alchimiste
Santiago, young shepherd of Andalusia, could have lived the most
tranquil life in the world had he not chosen to leave
in the pursuit of
his dream. The dream of a fabulous treasure hidden at the foot of
pyramids, which made him cross the Mediterranean and takes him right
into the desert. There, he will find the mysterious alchemist who will
initiate him to the enigmas of the universe and teach him that the most
precious treasures are not material. A magnificient philosophic
account, pleasant and simple to read which will talk to all readers, be
they in the quest of spiritual reflection or of a diverting read. The
brasilian author pens here his most captivating account surely and
invites us to question ourselves on our dreams and the forces at work
all around us.
