The Alchemist
Coelho's allegorical novel follows a shepherd's journey to find treasure, discovering that the true treasure is the journey itself. Through encounters with alchemists, kings, and the desert, it explores themes of destiny, dreams, listening to one's heart, and the language of the universe. The work is a modern parable about following one's personal legend.
