Why listen to The Alchemist

A young shepherd named Santiago has a recurring dream, in which he sees a treasure hidden at the Egyptian pyramids. To seek the treasure, the boy sells his sheep and embarks on a strenuous journey, crossing the Sahara Desert. Throughout his trip, he experiences a series of strange encounters. Under the guidance of an alchemist, he reached the pyramids, only to discover where the treasure really was. In the end, he has managed to gain wealth and find his true love, turning the dream he sought all along into reality.

Author : Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho was born in 1947 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was a rebellious youth and had been sent to a mental institution thrice during his adolescence. Years later, he was imprisoned for alleged subversive activities against the dictatorial government. In 1986, he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and published The Pilgrimage in the following year. It became a bestseller in Brazil. In 1988, his novel The Alchemist took the world by storm. He was regarded as one of the Latin American authors who could rival Gabriel García Márquez in terms of readership and popularity.
