The Alchemist

By Paulo Coelho

Categories: Literature & Fiction

Santiago, a young shepherd in Andalusia, dreams of a treasure waiting for him far from home, and sets out to find it. His journey takes him far from everything he knows, and along the way he learns to read the omens that point him forward. Paulo Coelho's short fable is about listening to your heart, recognizing opportunity, and following your dreams.
