The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, 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.
--Description from www.chapters.ca
While the novel is fairly short and to the point, it is incredibly descriptive and provides a great sense of imagery. The tale of Santiago and his quest to discover what it was he was meant to do will resonate with every reader and last forever. A wonderful read, inspirational and thought provoking, this is a book for all ages.
