"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist
one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear
of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever
suffered when it goes in search of its dreams." 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. Every few decades a book is published that
changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over
a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already
established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's
charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and
inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come.
