Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted
following around the world, and this tenth anniversary
edition, with a new introduction from the author, will
only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its
powerful simplicity and inspiring 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 in 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 along the
way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly
goods turns into a discovery of the treasures 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.
