The Alchemist - a book review


'The Alchemist' - is written by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian author. This book has become popular all over the world.
He has written it in a simple manner and it is easy to understand the meaning of the philosophical things he has illustrated. It is a small book and reading it will be pure joy.

Santiago, a boy, gets inspired by the mysterious desert and proceeds for a journey listening to the directions nature opened for him in search of a treasure hidden near the pyramids in Egypt. He sees many mysterious people, witnesses many things and gets involved in many adventures.

Finally he understands where the true treasure lies, rather nature shows him where it was and what he is seeking all throughout!
When we believe in something totally, the whole Universe resonates harmoniously making it really happen. The real treasure lies in the place where your heart belongs.

Beautiful book!!
