The Alchemist
The Alchemist is a book that is written by Paulo Coelho, and has been one of the bestseller books all over the world. The Alchemist is originally written in Portuguese, yet it has been translated to so many different languages to be enjoyed by so many people in the world. The Alchemist is a wonderfully simple story of the adventure of a young shepherd named Santiago, who wants to change his luck to travel to Egypt, where he believes that it is the place where he will get the precious treasure in the Pyramid.
On his journey to the Egypt, Santiago meets so many people from so many different places, cultures and background. This valuable “treasure” makes him able to understand better so many things that he did not know earlier in his former life of a simple shepherd. One important thing in the journey is that he finally meets the love of his life, as important as his meeting with the Alchemist, who is able to turn metal into gold.
