The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. 


The Alchemist 
Written by: Paulo Coelho 
Genre: Fantasy & Adventure fiction 
A Fable about following your dream.
This book left a big impression on me.It’s almost as if, while you’re reading it, you can imagine your grandfather telling it to you as if it’s a tale from his childhood. I always thought that novels were a waste of time because you never learn any “real life” lessons from them, but this book finally proved me wrong.


This seemed like a fitting start to my book reviewing journey, owing to that fact that this is easily one of my favorites books. I have read, and re-read this piece of art several times. The writing style is gripping, and deeply profound when read with an open mind.

It is a story of a shepherd, Santiago, who leaves his flock and his land to pursue his dream. A boy who is on a journey of discovering his destiny and realizing his dream of finding a treasure. This story tells us that the happiness, contentment, peace, spirituality& joy of one’s life lies within his journey towards his dream of life.


The boy has a deep attachment with his flock but realizing that they are devoid of aesthetic sense and appreciation for nature which he beholds, loves, and admires, the course of his life changes.


The story is about a Shepherd boy Dream.He keeps getting the same dream about treasures that are lying in the Pyramids of Egypt.He embarks on a journey to follow his dream after meeting an old king who offers him magic stones and advice.Santiago crosses the Mediterranean and Sahara to find his treasures in Egypt and also accomplish his personal legend which is his purpose in Life.
