This international bestseller is a timeless classic that has changed countless lives and will continue to do so for generations to come.
What is The Alchemist about?
At a surface level, The Alchemist is the story of Santiago, a young shepherd in Andalusia who starts on a journey to fulfill his dreams, but as the story unfolds, it delves deeper into the human experience, self-discovery, and the meaning of life.
Each scene and character encountered by Santiago is a source of self-discovery and insight. With his clever storytelling, the author spins an elaborate web of symbols and allegories to explore weighty ideas such as the pursuit of one’s purpose, the true nature of wealth, and what it means to have “Personal Legend”. All these topics are touched upon in the story about Santiago’s journey, and Paulo Coelho does so in a way that is both educational and entertaining.
My Experience with the Book
I first read The Alchemist a few years ago when feeling lost in life. Reading the book allowed me to enter the rustic world of Santiago as he chose materialism over the journey aligned with his heart. This journey of discovery, determination and growth as a man resonated with me deeply.
Through Santiago’s adventure of self-discovery, The author talked about the importance of trusting in the universe and following your heart to realize your dreams. This book was very precious to me in figuring out what constitutes true value and personal fulfilment. So much so that I regularly listen to the audiobook version while jogging even now.
