Paulo Coelho | Una fábula para seguir tus sueños | Paperback | Dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, El Alquimista is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who travels in search of a worldly treasure. From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert. Along the way, he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself King, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, El Alquimista is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
