THE ALCHEMIST
I love readings Paulo Coelho’s books. I have read a lot of his books, one of them was The Alchemist which was published in 1988. It has been translated into at least 69 different languages. The Alchemist talks about the journey of an Andalusia shepherd boy, named Santiago who believe in his dream.
Early into his journey, he meets an old king, whose name was Melchizedek, who tells him to sell his sheep to travel to Egypt and introduces the idea of a Personal Legend. Your Personal Legend "is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is." He adds that "when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
Though Santiago travels far, learns much and faces mortal danger to get to his treasure, in the end, he finds that treasure, his destiny, back at home in the very place where he started.
The book's main theme is about finding one's destiny. According to The New York Time, The Alchemist is "more self-help than literature." An old king tells to Santiago that, "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire so that your wish comes true." This is the core of the alchemist.
For me, this novel is a beautiful and inspiring novel that can make us be dare to dream and try to make our dream come true. So, I do recommend this novel for you guys.
