Review of Book THE
ALCHEMIST Every few deades a book is pubished that changes the lives of its
readers forever.
Paulo Coelho''s The
Alchemist is such a book. With over
20 million copies sold worldwide, The Alchemist has already achieved
the status of a modern classic.
This is the story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who
dreams of
travelling the world in search of treasure as extravagant as any ever
found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the exotic markets
tangiers and then into the Egytian desert, where a fateful encounter
with the alchemist awaits him.
The Alchemist is transforming novel about the essential wisdom of
listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life''s
path and above all following our dreams.
Coelho''s writing is beautifully poetic but his message is what
counts... He gives me hope and puts a smile on my face.
