The Alchemist

This novel tells the tale of Santiago, a boy who has a dream and has the courage to follow it. After listening to "the signs" the boy ventures in his personal, Ulysses-like journey of exploration and discovery, symbolically searching for a hidden treasure located near the pyramids of Egypt. 
"The Alchemist", is an exciting novel the bursts with optimism; it is the kind of novel that tells you everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. That may sound like an oversimplified version of new-age philosophy and mysticism, but as Coelho states; "Simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them."
