Summary The Alchemist tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian
shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His
quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than
he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential
wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and
learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most
importantly, to follow our dreams.

history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.”
