The Alchemist blogged by Liam C.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

I have read 13 hours. One of the books I read was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. The Alchemist was about a shepherd who meets a gypsy, a king, and an alchemist. All of whom point the shepherd toward his personal legend, which is basically your dream.The boy sells his sheep and travels to east Africa where he for a crystal shop until he can afford a trip to the Egyptian pyramids. Along the way, he meets his future wife, Fatima, in an oasis.When he reaches the pyramids, the boy is mugged but is told of a treasure chest in the fields of Spain where he used to care for his sheep. The story ends with the boys having multiple treasures; jewels and money, his wife, and a strong connection with God, his heart, and the world.
