It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting

The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."

 There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

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.

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.

There were times that the book felt repetitive and somewhat shallow but it also contained a good amount of symbolism, magical philosophy, and simple life lessons that I think a person should always remember. An easy but good read. 

I very much enjoyed reading this book, it was an easy read, and it was something I definitely needed to hear at this time in my life. I'm 18 and have no idea where I'm going in life or what I'm doing, this book has inspired me to follow my dreams and never give up on them no matter what. I related deeply to this phrase "People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them", I find this true in my case, I'm so afraid to go for what I want because I'm afraid of failure. I'm also so focused on the past and future that I forget the present; I forget to live and be in the moment. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone of any age especially if you're having a hard time in not knowing what to do and following what you want in life, it's a short and easy read. 

personally, i liked its symbolism and philosophical views, and if you know me, you’d understand how much i love any form of literature about dreams and destiny. however, it did feel repetitive at times, and i didn’t enjoy much of the final chapters, especially the ending.

i suddenly don't wanna die after this book

Wow. This book found me at the right time of my life. I needed to hear this story of believing in yourself no matter what gets thrown your way. Stay on your path and it’ll all make sense.

read this in my quiet spaces in a forest and on the beach and i think this book was completely apt. the writing is not highfalutin, yet it has so much transformative power in its simple yet soulful writing

A lot of words to say “follow your dreams.” I would have found it deep if I was younger, and maybe it is a beautiful read for youth. Now it just feels like platitudes and obvious truths.

for some reason i thought that ‘the alchemist’ was originally written in spanish, which motivated me to start learning the language so i could be able to read it in its “original” language. however it was an absolutely false assumption. paulo coelho is portuguese. i do thank him for this book though, it’s very dear to me, and as i said, my sole admiration for its story encouraged me to learn it’s … assumed language. either way it was a good read. every now and then i pick up the book for nostalgia. perfect book to read while you’re 16 years old.

Would've went super hard if I was still 16-17, but now it reads as a very preachy book. A charming but long winded way to say that dreams are worth following even if they seem impossible because either you will succeed or be fulfilled in the pursuit.

A fun, sweet, optimistic, and motivational journey.

"The Alchemist" is brief yet will hammer its values into your mind many times over: you should listen to what your heart is telling you. You should not be afraid of life's mysteries and an opportunity passed is an opportunity lost.

Personally, I resonate with the messages displayed here as somewhat recently in life I've decided to try and be more understanding, open, and willing to try something new ("risky"). Again, Coelho's story is one of optimism and also perseverance, some of life's best qualities and a mindset that'll lead you to a happier journey. It's hard not to smile as the boy's adventure leads him from one strange occurrence to the next, it's very charming stuff.

Admittedly, the book is a simple one. It's short and sweet, and I suppose its simplicity shouldn't necessarily be a detractor, but I found some of its passages could have been expanded upon while others felt redundant. In keeping the story short, I think Coelho did a pretty great job of keeping the dialogue terse, compact.

I also liked when he spoke about the Soul of the World and how interconnected everything can be, but it felt like a bit of a cop-out to then just say it's God doing everything. I suppose I liked the journey more so than the destination for that part of the story. Considering what was happening at that point in the book, too, this was arguably "jumping the shark" quite a bit.

I enjoyed reading "The Alchemist" and I definitely recommend it.

Short but so meaningful. So many life lessons and so inspirational. It talks about how everyone has a “purpose” in life and includes so many metaphors about that journey to finding your purpose in a storytelling way.

The book takes you to a young boy named Santiago to his journey in pursuit to find his personal legend. I believe that santiago's journey can be related to all people regarding about their dreams; those who choose to follow it, those who don't, and those who still continue to dream it but never follow it. 

It's entertaining and easy to read and can teach you about what it means to follow one's dreams.

The story didn't quite resonate with me. It had me at the first part... but I found myself speed-reading just to finish the book. There were some great quotes, but others I found too corny for my taste. I don't really agree with the book's philosophy. Good allusion at the end tho!

Easy and enjoyable read, clear message is stated in the book but it was a shame that it stayed superficial. Still, it was nice to read such an optimistic and hopeful interpretation of the world. I always love when the main character realises the ‘truth’ or the ‘real purpose of the world/meaning of life’ through observation and action, especially during a long treacherous journey across the world. Nothing life changing tho.
