Instead of a conventional review, I decided to share 5 things I learned from The Alchemist…. I wouldn’t even know where to start if I would attempt to review this book… No words that I could string together would do this book the justice it deserves. The Alchemist is more than just a book… it is a lesson in life. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Paulo Coelho’s enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world.
