Summary of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream by Paulo Coelho—Book Summary—Abbey Beathan

A story about the transforming power of our dreams and the goodness of listening to our hearts.

The Alchemist is the most enchanting novel of Paulo Coelho. He has written a bunch of fine titles but this one takes the cake as the most unique and interesting book of his repertoire. The story is about a shepherd named Santiago who travels from Spain to the Egyptian desert in hopes of finding a buried treasure within the Pyramids.

All of them are key fragments that will aid Santiago complete his journey.

"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."—Paulo Coelho

Santiago doesn't know if he will ever find the treasure, or if he'll fail to overcome all the obstacles that lay in front of him. But it doesn't matter, to be on the hunt for this treasure was his destiny and what started out as a treasure hunt for worldly goods soon turned into a search for all the goodness within him.

Paulo Coelho gives us a fascinating novel that will make us take a deep look within us to find all of the good things we are capable of offering.
