"The
Alchemist" is a global phenomenon, selling over 30 million copies
worldwide. This exciting new edition includes exclusive content, such as a new
forward to the book by the author, an interview with Paulo Coelho, and much
more, providing an in-depth look at this much-loved title. Every few decades a
book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. This is such a
book - a magical fable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens
strewn along life's path and, above, all follow your dreams. This is the
magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who dreams of travelling
the world in search of a worldly treasure as fabulous as any ever found. From
his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers, and from there into
the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him.
With Paulo Coelho's visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and
folklore, "The Alchemist" is a story with the power to inspire
nations and change people's lives.
