A special 25th anniversary edition of the extraordinary international
bestseller, including a new Foreword by Paulo Coelho. Combining magic,
mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The
Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around
the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across
generations. Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of
Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a
worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far
more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about
the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity
and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most
importantly, to follow our dreams.
