The Alchemist

The Alchemist is a beautiful book about magic, dreams, and the treasures we seek elsewhere and and then find at our doorstep.

The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension, and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well....A sweetly exotic tale for young and old alike.

Beneath this novel's compelling story and the shimmering elegance with which it's told lies a bedrock of wisdom about following one's heart.

The Alchemist is a fabulous success, and a remarkable tale about the most magical of all journeys: the quest to fulfill one's destiny. I recommend The Alchemist to anyone who is passionately committed to claiming the life of their dreams today.

An entrepreneurial tale of universal wisdom we can apply to the business of our own lives.

The Alchemist is an unabashed delight and inspirational wonder. This fable is a roseate amalgam of spiritual quest' existential puzzle, lovely sensitivity, and deep strength.

A most tender and gentle story. It is a rare gem of a book, and will most certainly touch the very core of every heart earnestly seeking it's own destiny on the journey of life. A boy named Santiago joins the ranks of Candide and Pinocchio by taking us on a very excellent adventure.

The mystic quality in the odd adventures of the boy, Santiago, may bring not only him but others who read this fine book closer to recognizing and reaching their own inner destinies.

Nothing is impossible, such is Coelho's message, as long as you wish it with all your heart. No other book bears so much hope; small wonder it,s author became a guru among all those in search of the meaning of life.

Dotted throughout the story and illuminated in a poetic style are metaphors and deep insight that stir our imagination and and transport the readers on a fantastic journey of the soul.

The Alchemist is a beautiful and heartwarming story with an exotic flavor...You may or may not agree with Paulo Coelho's philosophy, but it's nonetheless a tale that comforts our hearts as much as our souls.

These words are not only mine, it is better to consider it as worldwide views about this poetic and effective book.
