Description
"A special 25th anniversary edition of Paulo Coehlo's extraordinary international bestselling phenomenon--the inspiring spiritual tale of self-discovery that has touched millions of lives around the world.Combing magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations. Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different--and far more satisfying--than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

Description
From SWO Tenure Faculty Selection: Piper Lisseveld: "The book was a gift from a Cambodian friend 5-years ago as I began a new life adventure full of experiences and discoveries. The story involves Santiago, a shepherd boy, following his dreams of travel who takes a risk to go on an adventure from Spain to the Egyptian desert. With each re-read, my well-worn book receives new notes added to the margins and highlighted passages allows pause for further pondering. “Its the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary”, the same holds true for this book. A short book that is by itself a journey, not a destination. Packed full of inspiration, life lessons, gratitude, good energy, and love."
