The Alchemist

The Alchemist - the biggest Brazilian bestseller of all time - has been translated into 34 languages and sold over 10 million copies. The almost fairy-tale-like narrative of a Spanish shepherd's journey in search of buried treasure, based on the story of a dream come true from the collection A Thousand and One Nights, is both a call to fulfill one's own destiny and a recognition of the sacredness of the world we live in. On the way to that double treasure, full of trials and important encounters, one must heed all the signs and with constant patience and courage (like an alchemist watching the transformation of base metal into gold) reshape one's own personality.
