A global phenomenon, The Alchemist has been read and loved by over 62 million readers, reaching bestseller lists in 74 countries worldwide. This enchanting allegory is being re-released in an edition that Paulo Coelho's fans will want to keep forever.

Every few decades, a book is published that changes its readers' lives forever. This is such a story – a beautiful parable about how to listen to your heart, read the omens you encounter on life's path, and, above all, follow your dreams.

Santiago, a young shepherd living in the hills of Andalusia, feels that there is more to life than his humble home and his flock. One day he finds the courage to follow his dreams to distant places, each step reinforced by the knowledge that he is on the right path: his own. The people he meets along the way, the things he sees, and the wisdom he gains are crucial to his life.

With Paulo Coelho's visionary composition combining spirituality, magical realism, and folklore, The Alchemist is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people's lives.
