THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coehlo
Bella Enahoro
Product Description
This book is now something of a modern classic. Read by Jeremy Irons, it makes gorgeous listening to take us into the winter months.
In the introduction to the novel THE ALCHEMIST, Paulo Coehlo writes "whenever we do something with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream. Why? There are four obstacles." He then goes on to discuss them.
1 - We are told from childhood that everything we want to do is impossible
2 - We know what we want to do but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning them to do it
3 - Fear of defeats we will meet on the path
4 - Fear of realizing the dream for which we fought all our lives
However, Coehlo concludes, that if we believe ourselves worthy of the thing we fought so hard to get, then we become instruments of God, we help the soul of the world and understand why we are here. This enchanting fable is a story about the transformative power of following our dreams.
THE ALCHEMIST, follows the story of a shepherd boy named Santiago who believes a recurring dream to be prophetic and so decides to travel to a gypsy in a nearby town to discover its meaning. Along the way, he encounters love, danger, opportunity, disaster and learns a lot about himself and the ways of the world. The book's main theme is about finding one's self destiny, one's personal legend.
THE ALCHEMIST is global phenomenon, and according to Agence France-Presse (AFP) , it has sold more than 65 million copies in more than 160 countries, becoming one of the best selling books in history and winning the Guinness World Record for most translated book by a living author.
