Review of the book "The Alchemist"

Above is a photo I took of the book in 2019

The book is a story about the shepherd boy Santiago - Spaniard, dreamed of treasure near the Pyramid twice. After meeting the dream interpreter and the old king, he decided to follow his destiny. He sold all the sheep and went to Arabia but was deceived, then worked for a crystal seller for nearly a year and had enough money to go to the Pyramid and have enough left over to return. On the way, he met an English guy, an alchemist, and his love interest Fatima at a certain oasis. After that, the alchemist accompanied him to the Pyramid. He helped him a lot on the way. Almost when he arrived, the alchemist returned. He (Santiago) continued and saw the legendary Pyramid. But unfortunately, here he met two robbers, they stole the gold and beat him to a pulp. They forced him to hand over all the money and he had to tell the story about the treasure. That was a miracle that made the robbers talk about their dream of treasure in Spain. He happily returned to his country and found the treasure in the most familiar place.

An overarching message in the entire famous work "The Alchemist" by author Paullo Coelho. That is: Follow your dreams by doing what your heart tells you. The universe will send you signals and omens about your mission, your job is to learn how to understand those signals.

When I read this book, I felt like I was immersed in a world of adventure with Santiago, from one surprise to another, and when I finished reading, I felt everything was magical, interesting, and emotional. Even though I read the book about 7 years ago, when I reread the reviews written in my notebook, I wanted to read this book again.

I'm very happy to be able to share this wonderful book with you. I hope that when you finish reading it, you will also like this book as much as I liked it.
