Every once in a while comes a story teller like this one.....someone who captures your imagination and tells a story so profound that leaves you thinking about it for a long time.
The Alchemist is a very simple story of a shepherd who dreams of hidden treasure. He sets of on a journey to realise his dream....but the story is much more than a shepherd finding his treasure. Its about following your dream, its about following what your heart truly desires, even if it means, moving to unknown terrain.

The book is so fast to read, being such a simple story, but even today I keep going back to read it again and again. There is something so uplifting about reading this book. How it talks about the universe always conspiring to make the true wish of your heart come true. The way it talks about how all the world and the creatures in it are connected. Every time I read it I turn misty eyed !

A wonderful uplifting story. A must have for eeryone, read it as a fairy tale for your children, read it for yourself, whenever you need a lift, whenever you feel alone and let down. I guarentee that this book will have you feeling better.
