About this ebook
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: Conversation Starters
Santiago grows up in the Andalusian mountains shepherding his flock. One night he dreams of seeing treasures in a far-away place he had never been to, the Egyptian pyramids. He leaves his flock, travels, and meets people who become messengers of spiritual truths. As if by magic, he soon meets an alchemist who becomes his teacher. Santiago tells his teacher that he is afraid that he will suffer, and the alchemist tells him that the suffering is not as fearful as the fear of it. The time spent searching is time spent with God, and one spends time with eternity too.
The Alchemist is written by Paulo Coelho who has other bestselling books like The Valkyries, The Zahir, and The Witch of Portobello. His book sales have reached 150 million copies around the world.

Introducing The Alchemist
T
HE ALCHEMIST IS A FABLE THAT INSPIRES READERS TO FOLLOW THEIR dreams and discover themselves in the process. It is written by Paulo Coelho.
The story is all about a boy named Santiago, who grows up in the Andalusian mountains shepherding sheep. One night he dreams of seeing treasures in a far-away place he had never been to, the Egyptian pyramids. He leaves his flock and his country to search for the treasure in his dream. As he travels, he meets people who become messengers of spiritual truths. These are unassuming men, like an Englishman who has read many books, and a camel driver who becomes a teacher. Santiago soon learns of men who are called alchemists. He is intrigued by what they do— transforming metal to release the soul of the world, a process which happens over many years. As if by magic, he soon meets an alchemist and he becomes an apprentice. The alchemist who becomes his teacher tells Santiago of the misguided notions he has about seeking the treasure in his dream. He also helps the boy become more emboldened to pursue the dream. When Santiago tells his teacher that he is afraid that he will suffer, the man tells him that the suffering is not as fearful as the fear of it. They talk to each other during a moonless night. The alchemist further tells Santiago that one's heart does not suffer while it searches to fulfill a dream. The time spent searching is time spent with God, and one spends time with eternity
