The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

It is the story of a shepherd boy from the Spanish region of Andalusia who dreams of travelling the world in search of a treasure as desirable as any ever found. From his home he journeys to the exotic markets of North Africa and then into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him ... The Alchemist is an unforgettable fable about the essential wisdom of listening to our heart and, above all, following our dreams.
