Note: Item has rough Cut edges(Edges are cut improperly intentionally by the manufacturer)

A special 25th anniversary edition of the extraordinary international bestseller, including a new Foreword by Paulo Coelho.

Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations.

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece 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.

From the Back Cover

Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

I've never been more interested to read a book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

Being a person on a spiritual journey I am here to say this book made my heart smile in more ways than one. It was like I was meant to discover it and read it. If you are soul searching and trying to find your life purpose this is a great read. I advise anyone to be their own judge when it comes to reading this great find of a book. I use to love reading as a child and as I grew into teenage years and adult hood I strayed away from reading. I personally am glad that I decided to pick up The Alchemist and read it because I can see where it's going to have a tremendous impact on my life for my greater good. There's a leason in this book about not allowing ppl/things to knock you off course of the direction you need to go to fulfill your life purpose. With that being said don't let the negative comments stop you from reading this book it may just be what you needed to get you back on track and help you to fulfill your life purpose or personal legend as described in the book. I truly hope that my review of this book helps someone. It's definitely a 10/10 for me.

It's a book and I love books. From the start I could see that ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Everyone has talked about this book, from Madonna, Pharrell, and Oprah, to my mother. "Life-changing" is what I heard.

As a reader, I couldn't resist. It's a book and I love books.

From the start I could see that this would be a book I could sink my teeth into. I started out strong, but I kept getting distracted by...everything. The phone, the television, kids, my husband, you name it.

Days went by and I hadn't gotten past the third chapter of this very short book that I wanted so desperately to read. Then it hit me! Download the audiobook.

I began listening to The Alchemist during my long car rides throughout the city. I feasted on Santiago's journey for two days until the very end. What did I learn? Was it as life-changing as I'd expected it to be?

For starters, the book was narrated by Jeremy Irons who did an amazing job! They could not have picked a better person. His voice enriched the life of Santiago.

The take away—it didn't change me, per se. I'm not ready to get off the path I'm already on. However, it did reinvigorate my belief in dreams. Hell, I've been a dreamer my whole life. And what do all dreamers know? It's hard, so hard to stay on the path to your dreams until you realize them.

Just like Santiago, I have been knocked around by life. I have thought many times, Why write? Why not just continue working as an occupational therapist until retirement? Wouldn't that make life easier?

Santiago also considered ditching his plans to seek his treasure to live out his life as a shepherd or work at a crystal shop until some ripe old age.

How long is too long to stay on the path to your dreams?

I began writing at the age of six. I would have my mom or one of my grandparents cut paper in half for me, and then staple the pages together. Then I would write stories about ants, bugs, and animal adventures in my first grade penmanship. When I turned nine, my mother bought me a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a typewriter. Not dolls or games. What nine year-old gets a typewriter for her birthday?

Best gift, ever!

In middle school I made up wild and ridiculously fun stories with me as the lead. It was a way of escaping my reality during those tough years. In high school, I began writing scripts. I loved script writing so much, I sent scripts in to NBC at the age of sixteen!

When I turned 18 I gave up on my dreams to be "an adult". I listened to voices that were not my own. After college, I concentrated on marriage and kids. I was happy, but something was missing.

In 2004, my passion came back to me. I started having the best dreams and I began writing them down. In 2005, I completed my first book! Did it become a bestseller? Nope.

By 2007, I was taking a screenwriting class. I was like a teenager again. I took to it with renewed zeal. Without fear I sought representation for my scripts. Sent them to Disney. Did I make a movie? Sell a script? Nope.

Fast-forward to 2017, now thirteen years on this path to achieve my dreams! And I have! Well, parts of it. I have indie-published four books, and a fifth one is on the way. I have a growing fan base! Wonderful ladies write to me or post on my social media pages that they love my series and my writing!! It feels amazing to read, and I always try to respond.

Did I ever quit? Nope.

Why, in the middle of this review did I share my own story with you? Because, I am Santiago. We all are. We are all born with talents and dreams! Every child has a desire and dream of what they want to be. Most of us give dreams up to become "adults". But why? Why can't we be that person? After all, childhood is the most raw, honest, innocent, unbiased time of our life! Who better to pick our destinies then our child selves?

"Little D.W." chose my career—a writer. It has been a source of happiness, escape, creativity, passion, and love for me.

I still have one foot in the rat race. Imagine how crazy I look right now, running in both directions! But I am Santiago, my treasure is so close that I can smell it, feel it, taste it! I am ready to jump out of the rat race with feet and run at full speed toward my dream.

I am Santiago. You are Santiago! Do yourself a favor and pick up this book, it's short and sweet, yet packed with power. You may be a dreamer now or may have been a dreamer once upon a time. Whichever it is, if you are still in the rat race running toward nowhere, I recommend this book to get you back on track. Your treasure, whatever it is for you, is out there waiting for you to go after it!

The Alchemist Helped Explain Life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

In the desert, I found a goatskin. What follows is a rough translation from Sanskrit.

"Picture me as a wizard in a pointy hat carrying a staff. 'The Alchemist' led me to understand the last six months of my life. Consider three quotes from the book.

"'The mysterious force... appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your Personal Legend.'

"'We could sell tea in crystal glasses. The people will enjoy the tea and want to buy the glasses. I have been told that beauty is the great seducer of men."

"'Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. When I first reached through to it, I thought the Soul of the World was perfect. But later, I could see that it was like other aspects of creation, and had its own passions and wars.'

"The author of those lines led me to understand that I had served as a mysterious force to the Personal Legend of a priestess.

"I had tied my heart to the side of a donkey and sent it into a secret valley between Katmandu and Timbuktu. It told me that a woman in the valley was growing into a role of spiritual leadership. So I entered.

"I met the woman. Her name is Narmis. I met the baker, the cobbler, the smith, the stable boys and girls and many other delightful folks. From the corner of my eye, I occasionally caught a glimpse of their rainbow auras.

"A week later, Narmis built a small temple. She erected the sacristy around the trunk of a sycamore. Every day she nailed a new installment of holy scripture to the wooden door at the front of the temple. I memorized one of them as a guidebook for the rest of my life.

"Narmis needed a mysterious force to spur her ministry.

"First I became a mirror. I reflected the depth of her wisdom back to her. She grew more self-assured.

"Second I performed a miracle. On the alter I held my hand over her heart. A terrible pain in her legs and hips diminished. She felt a physical echo of the healing in her heart. In truth she performed her own miracle through a faith I helped her to achieve.

"Third I whispered secrets in her ear. She feared her own power. Power corrupts. She wanted to remain pure. She wanted to tolerate only purity among her followers.

"Her disciples hid their impurities well. But the further you went from the temple, the more trouble you found in the valley. Pickpockets teemed in the market. Burglars invaded homes. Lustful moans escaped the brothel.

"I whispered that she must minister to even the worst of the sorry lot. Even some of the idolaters fashioning a golden calf could mend their ways. She must find the courage to pursue power without corrupting her soul. She must hypnotize the people with wisdom, compassion and beauty.

"Narmis pushed me from the sacristy. Her hands never touched me and her words remained kind, but her eyes clouded with anger. I fell back. I ran from the temple. I saddled up and left the valley, crying.

"Only after reading Paulo Coelho's masterpiece did I understand. My presence among the people of the secret valley served a purpose. I love them still, but I cannot go back. My absence serves an even higher purpose. The priestess shall have no crutch. She will pursue her Personal Legend or she will not.

"Hegel wrote, "The owl of Minerva spreads her wings only with the coming of dusk." Coelho offers more wisdom than Hegel through the simple speech of Santiago, the shepherd boy.

"And me? My owl spread her wings in the tearful days following my fall from grace. I learned to tie my heart to the owl at night and to a falcon in the day. No more donkey rides. My heart now soars to places of great joy. I recite the holy scripture without hesitation. Narmis helped me find the faith to heal."

Honest Review

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on July 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is probably the most intresting book I've read so far, the writing so the book is amazing and can be easily understand. If you are first time reader then I would definitely recommend this book. It is was originally written in Portuguese and later translated in English.

The story is about a boy from Andalsuia and his adventures through African desert to find treasure in Pyramids of Egypt. One can easily relate with the story because we all have our own goals and this book will teach you that no matter how many obstacles come in your way you should never give up

As per the quality of book goes, It's not that great, Pages are low quality. But the texts are readable without getting strain in your eyes. So I can say the quality of book is okay

I'm giving 4 star because of the low quality of the book.
I hope this review will help you in your buying decision.

There are too many things one can learn from “The Alchemist”. Its all about following your dream and about taking the risk of following your dreams, which is actually so difficult to do and there are very few people in this world who actually do, I mean risk it all, just to follow your heart and your dream. Beauty is, the author is so right in saying that when u decide to follow your dreams the entire universe conspires in your favour which he called as the “beginners luck” and we all have been witness to this beginners luck at one or other point in our lives.Also, he talks about a stage in our journey towards realizing our dreams, where everything just goes haywire and there is everything working against us and it almost takes us to the brink of abandoning everything and just getting back to what was so familiar and comfortable.

A good enough story, but relies on a certain existing mindset

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

So, people say this book has changed their lives. I'm sure it has. Not me, though, because it needs to lock-in to a very specific pre-existing sense of theism/spirituality which I don't have. If you don't believe in a benevolent higher power, this book just doesn't really work as anything other than a tale. I suppose there are some general takeaways to be had, but I really disagree with the somewhat fatalistic aspects, which are often slightly contradictory. This might set people on a very enthusiastic "wish and wait for what I want" path, or "go with the flow". Maybe I've completely missed the point, as I read it over the space of an evening. I did highlight a couple of things in the book, which I often do, so I suppose there are some general insights that aren't directly related to certain beliefs. I imaging this would resonate with people who believe in the "law of attraction" - e.g. the universe is a materialists shopping catalog, existing only to wait for your order for a new car, house, wife/husband, job, etc. However, if you are a non-materialistic critical thinker and atheist (not necessarily nihilist), you may find some of this quite ridiculous. The idea that if you want something, the whole universe will "conspire" to get it for you is nonsense. If I will the end of the universe, is that going to happen? No. If I wish the opposite of what you wish, how will that conflict be resolved?

A Midas touch !

This book is not for you if you are looking for a way to escape reality by immersing into a juicy plot during the week end. This book is about you, me and anyone and everyone .It is about our life, our troubles and tribulations, our goals and the purpose of our existence. To determine our goal ( or Personal Legend as Coelho terms) and to pursue and achieve it is not difficult if we are focused because in the words of Coelho,"..... when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

The story is that of a shepard boy named, Santiago ,from Andulasia. The boy embarks upon a journey in search of a treasure that he had dreamt of. Each one of us are, infact, Santiago, unable to realise when and where we spilt 'the spoon of oil '. As you go through the book you learn that all is not lost and there is hope.

Narrated in a simple lucid manner,the story is interspersed with metaphors ,fables and allegories. Compelling, interesting and full of hope and positivity, The Alchemist is a bedrock of inspiration that instills a strong sense of faith in yourself.

Such is the power of this book that you will want to read it again and again. Paulo Coelho has an uncanny knack to soothe your soul and boost your morale. This book, in my opinion, should be read by everyone, young and old, atleast once .

I finished this book in two days... long story short. Boy is looking for treasure.. he goes from point A to point B to point C, D and E in search for it. The treausre was at point A then he goes back to point D to find the girl he fell in love with. The End.

I had to search on Google to see what the message was in this book and there really isn't much to it... luckily I didn't spend too long reading this one. I know how annoying it is spending a long time reading a book and you're none the wiser after finishing it.
