A poetic book with very big ideas about life, faith and destiny
from Brazil's best-known novelist. Through the simple tale of the
adventures of an Andalusian shepherd boy who sets out to make a
fortune but instead finds treasure within himself, Coelho weaves a
magical fable with an important and inspiring message: 'To realize
one's destiny is a person's only real obligation.' Beautifully
written, here is a story that will stay with you long after you've
finished reading it. (Kirkus UK)
A global phenomenon, The Alchemist has been read and loved by over 62 million readers, topping bestseller lists in 74 countries worldwide. Now this magical fable is beautifully repackaged in an edition that lovers of Paulo Coelho will want to treasure forever.
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. This is such a book – a beautiful parable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along life’s path and, above all, follow your dreams.
Santiago, a young shepherd living in the hills of Andalucia, feels that there is more to life than his humble home and his flock. One day he finds the courage to follow his dreams into distant lands, each step galvanised by the knowledge that he is following the right path: his own. The people he meets along the way, the things he sees and the wisdom he learns are life-changing.
With Paulo Coelho’s visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, The Alchemist is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people’s lives.
