Book Description

February 2002
One night, a young pastor has a repetitive dream: a hidden treasure that lies close to the pyramids of Egypt. The young man decides to follow his dream and confront the great mysteries that accompany man from the beginning of time: the signals of God, the mysterious soul of the world, where anyone can enter and hear his own heart. Considered one of the oldest and most secret arts of humanity, alchemy is discussed for the first time in direct and simple language.

Une certaine nuit, un jeune berger a un rêve qui se répète: un trésor occulte, gardé près des Pyramides d’Égypte. Le garçon décide de suivre son rêve et se voit face aux grands mystères qu'accompagnent l'Homme depuis le début des temps: les signes de Dieu, la mystérieuse Âme du monde, dans laquelle n’importe qui peut pénétrer s’il écoute son propre cœur. Considéré l’un des arts les plus anciens et les plus secrets de l'Humanité, l'Alchimie est abordée pour la première fois dans un langage direct et simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars A trip worth taking, September 2, 1998
By A Customer
L'alchimiste... a wonderful book that brings you along for a magnificient trip through the desert to find a tresor.

The treip is important and only in the end will you find what you were seeking.

Full of lessons, the story reads easily and brings the reader to a point where he/she will reevaluate the important things in his life.

A book not unlike "Le Petit Prince"

4.0 out of 5 stars Une belle réflexion sur le sens de la vie, February 28, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: L'Alchimiste / The Alchemist (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
Voilà un beau livre qui nous fait réfléchir sur le sens de la vie. En conséquence, c'est un livre à lire lentement afin de se donner le temps de méditer sur les messages cachés derrière l'histoire. Une mise en garde par contre, il faut être d'humeur à vouloir réfléchir autrement on a l'impression de lire un récit quelque peu moralisateur.

Deux extraits que ma nature fonceuse a particulièrement aimés:

"Une quête commence toujours par la Chance du Débutant. Et s'achève toujours par l'Épreuve du Conquérant."

"Quoi qu'elle fasse, toute personne sur terre joue toujours le rôle principal de l'Histoire du monde. Et normalement elle n'en sait rien."

Voilà donc deux citations pouvant nous aider à toujours faire de notre mieux dans la vie. Espérons qu'elles pourront inspirer d'autres gens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful, a number 1 hit in book form., May 15, 2006
This review is from: L'Alchimiste / The Alchemist (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
I never left the side of the young shepherd boy and thoroughly enjoyed his quest for the Alchemist. I found sometimes, page after page would have me pondering like reading Anthony de Mello's snap-shot guiding stories, for each interaction that came to the boy brought new light to reflect & consider. A truely magnificent work to mirror back to ones own life and a genuine portal to allow movement into other worlds around ourselves that do, it seems, exist; coincidences, chance meetings. The adults' Harry Potter surely.
