Synopsis:
The Alchemist is a novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho that was first published in 1988.
Originally written in Portuguese, it became a widely translated international bestseller.
The Alchemist follows the journey of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago.
Believing a recurring dream to be prophetic, he asks a Gypsy fortune teller in the nearby town about its meaning.
The woman interprets the dream as a prophecy telling the boy that he will discover a treasure at the Egyptian pyramids.
Early into his journey, he meets an old king named Melchizedek, or the king of Salem, who tells him to sell his sheep, so as to travel to Egypt and accomplish his 'Personal Legend'.
Early in his arrival in Africa, a man who claims to be able to take Santiago to the pyramids instead robs him of the money he had made from selling his sheep.
Santiago then embarks on a long path of working for a crystal merchant so as to earn enough to get to the pyramids.
Along the way, the boy meets an Englishman who has come in search of an alchemist and continues his travels with his new companion.
When they reach an oasis, Santiago meets and falls in love with an Arabian girl named Fatima, to whom he proposes marriage.
She promises to marry him only after he completes his journey.
Frustrated at first, he later learns that true love will not stop nor must one sacrifice to it one's personal destiny, since to do so robs it of truth.
