Description:

Paulo Coehlo`s enchanting story of a boy who goes on a quest after a tantalizing dream will warm the heart of every type of seeker. Told in a simple, engaging style, this tale of an Andalusian shepherd begins as a search for a treasure which, according to his dream, lies hidden beneath the Egyptian pyramids. As young Santiago pursues his goal, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including an educated Englishman, a camel driver, and an actual alchemist, who open his thoughts and dreams to deeper, more valuable riches of the heart and spirit. The new reader will understand why this fable has had numerous devoted fans since its first publication in 1988 (in Brazil) and discover untold treasures and great truths by taking part in the journey of Coehlo`s charming Santiago.

The Alchemist is a must read!

midwood from Brooklyn, NY, Apr 11, 2008

The Alchemist is my favorite book of all times. It was first recommended to me by a friend. I enjoyed the valuable lessons it thought me about myself. After shopping around on the internet, Overstock turned out to be the most affordable that I was able to purchase 4 more copies; 1 for my boyfriend, 1 each for my two closest girlfriends, and 1 for my brother. This book is a must read, heck it should be a part of your personal library. I guarantee you will love it, and your family and friends will love it too.

Short read with lasting affect. Entertaining and enlightening story. I was not able to put this book down; it is great for traveling or anytime. A very discriptive and vivid journey. An inspiring book that I will pass on to many friends.

lmh1979 from hickory, nc, Jan 7, 2008

I think this book is amazing. I feel everyone should own a copy. I have ordered it for all my close friends and family. Depending on where you may be in your life when you read this book will have a huge impact on what you take away from the story. I have read it twice with in a year and have received two different messages.
