My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told
the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky."Tell
your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering
itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search
of its dreams."Every few decades a book is published that changes
the lives of its readers forever. "The Alchemist" is such a book.
With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, "The
Alchemist" has already established itself as a modern classic,
universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available
in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even
wider audience of readers for generations to come."The Alchemist"
is 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. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets
of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter
with the alchemist.The story of the treasures Santiago finds along
the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, 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.
