DESCRIPTION
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
is the enchanting, internationally bestselling fable about Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd who sets off from his homeland in Spain toward the Egyptian desert in pursuit of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, each pointing him further along his path. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the novel is a testament to the transforming power of dreams and the wisdom found in personal legend.
