ALCHEMIST, THE

An internationally best-selling book, 'The Alchemist' has already achieved the status of a modern classic. Now this enchanting fable has been recorded in English to enthral and inspire an even wider audience for years to come. Here is the magical story of Santiago, and Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and into the Egyptian desert where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits. This is a story that teaches us, as only few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path and above all following our dreams.
