The Alchemist

Author: Paulo Coelho

In “The Alchemist,” Paulo Coelho crafts a mesmerizing tale of Santiago, a young shepherd who dreams of discovering a worldly treasure. His journey from the hills of Spain to the Egyptian deserts is both physically arduous and spiritually enlightening. Along the way, Santiago encounters a series of enigmatic characters, each imparting wisdom that nudges him closer to his elusive goal. I found it captivating how Coelho gently reminded us that sometimes, the real treasures lie within.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
