The Alchemist
Written by: Paulo Coelho
Genre: Fantasy & Adventure fiction
The Alchemist is one of those books which deserves a space on everyone's bookshelf.
It is rich in fiction and crafted by Paulo Coelho to make it more perfect. It is about following your dream and goal and achieving it; while doing so the whole universe conspires for its happening.
Its special feature is that it talks a lot about the 'Soul of the World' which attracts people towards their goals. The book has received the Niels Golden book award for its outstanding sales in the retail markets of the UK.
It is a third-person narration and it tells about the story of a young shepherd boy, Santiago who wants to travel around the world. His greatest incident in life was his meeting with an old man Melchizedek, King of Salem who directs him towards his journey from the Andalusian plains to the exotic markets of Tangier and through the mighty Sahara deserts to the Al Famous oasis where his encounter with an Alchemist aw au t-shirts him and find a twin blessing besides his fiancee Fatima.
This story is not about the alchemist with whim Santiago meets but it is about the one who becomes an Alchemist and takes over.
