The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho’s masterpiece tells 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. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, 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.
Book itself is wonderful. This kindle edition is not good though, pages are images, so unable to resize text, highlight etc, and it lacks contrast between text and background. There are many versions on kindle, I suggest finding a different one.
So interesting to read the English version after I read the Spanish version and see what I missed. That said, I got the gist of it pretty well that first time around, and that makes me happy.
I definitely enjoyed this book. It’s one I’ll come back to again.
