The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho
Imagine experiencing the same dream twice, an enigmatic vision urging you to seek treasure hidden within an ancient Egyptian pyramid. Twice, this alluring dream has left you with a tantalizing quest, urging you to explore the secrets that lie within the pyramid’s sacred walls.
According to the supreme Coelho’s book The Alchemist this happened to Santiago, a young shepherd from Andalusia who loves travelling. "Only rich people or shepherds can travel” Santiago’s father said this to his son who was insisting that instead of being a priest he would rather travel with his flock of sheep from one place to another and enjoy doing what he really liked to do.
Our brave, courageous, energetic shepherd, through his journey, learned about people and what life is all about. He simply followed his dreams and found not only the treasure in the unthinkable place but something much, much more important – his love, Fatima. Was it a destiny, courage or just maktub? Probably all of those but also the strong belief that nothing is impossible, as long as you wish it with all your heart.
The Alchemist has been translated into more than 80 different languages.
A heart-warming read for wintry Melbourne’s nights.
