ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho tells the story of Santiago, a shepherd boy from Andalusia, who embarks on a journey to Egypt in search of a hidden treasure he dreamt about. Along the way, he encounters various characters who teach him about omens, love, and the importance of pursuing one’s dreams. The book explores the idea of a Personal Legend, the idea that everyone has a unique path and purpose in life, which one must follow. Santiago learns that the universe will conspire to help those who pursue their dreams. The story suggests that the journey is just as important as the destination, and the boy gains wisdom, experiences love, and learns about himself and his connection to the Soul of the World.
