The Alchemist (Portuguese: O Alquimista) is an allegorical novel by Paulo Coelho first published in 1988. It follows Santiago, a young Spanish shepherd, on a journey to fulfill his Personal Legend. It has been hailed as a modern classic. The plot is inspired from Jorge Luis Borges' short story: Tale of two dreamers.

The Alchemist was originally written in Portuguese and has since been translated into 67 languages, winning the Guiness World Record for most translated book by a living author. It has sold more than 65 million copies in more than 150 countries, becoming one of the best-selling books in history.


When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
The Alchemist

C Green (dettes) | 3 comments i too am a fan of this book... however i feel i have in some way been slighted as i am not able to read it in it's original language...

i am still reading this book... an avid reader i find some books must be read and reread to get a more concise understanding from the author...

i hope many more will be "opened minded" when reading this great novel...

peace, blessings & mercy
