    “Teaches us about dreams, destiny, and the reason we are all here.”—Oprah Daily, “Best Self-Help Books of a Generation”

    Acclaimed illustrator Daniel Sampere brings Paulo Coelho's classic to new life in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation–Discover the true power of trusting your intuition, honoring your instincts, and tapping into your innate inner wisdom

    This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery that the most valuable treasures are those found within.

No matter where you are in life’s journey, allow this profound fable to awaken you to the beauty of the present and the hope of the future, and what it truly means to be human and at peace.

    “We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

    “It changed my whole life. I realized all of the people who had conspired to get me to this place.” —Pharrell Williams, musician and songwriter

    Author

    Paulo Coelho

    One of the most influential writers of our time, Paulo Coelho is the author of thirty international bestsellers, including The Alchemist, Warrior of the Light, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, and Eleven Minutes. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Paulo is the recipient of 115 international prizes and awards, among them, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland.

      I must admit that it took me a while to read it, but not out of laziness or anything like that; I took my time to understand the idea of the beginning of a journey, the learning that patience brings, and the importance of believing in oneself, understanding the world and the wonders that may seem hidden but are in plain sight. An entertaining read full of reflections, a reading to imagine; to allow your mind to travel and visualize wonderful places! This book allows you to believe in yourself, think of yourself, and take care of yourself without failing to respect everything around us. (Translated from Spanish)

      It's the first book I'm challenging myself to read in 2024, and it has really captivated me. One of my goals this year is to read more. I'm enjoying the book; I haven't finished it yet, but I'm reading it little by little to stay committed to my goal. I recommend it if you're about to start reading. ? (Translated from Spanish)

      The Alchemist is a book I had high hopes for; the recommendations to read it are abundant, and after reading it, I came to the conclusion that it has fallen into poseurism. It is true that its reading is enjoyable and can even be entertaining; it's easy to get into the story and perfectly visualize it in your mind, but it doesn't offer me anything more. It's a book that, if I hadn't seen recommended so many times and hadn't built such high expectations, I would have liked much more. A very fanciful and mystical book that is not entirely bad but also not entirely good. (Translated from Spanish)

      Follow your dreams: The alchemist conveys the theme of following your dreams despite the possible difficulties that may arise. Santiago, the protagonist of the story, is guided by his dream of finding a treasure even though it represents a great risk. This teaches us that it is worth taking risks to make our dreams come true. (Translated from Spanish)

      Short tale by Lovecraft written in his youth with Gothic influence, like his master Poe. In this story, there are, of course, castles, counts, and the dead, in the truest Edgar style. For a 17-year-old, it's not bad at all, unpretentious, simple, and entertaining; don't expect anything more from a youthful story written by a teenager. (Translated from Spanish)

      Far removed from all the criticism...
      It is a good book for those starting to read; in some way, it has a message and a teaching. We shouldn't just label it impossible or criticize it negatively because it's not to the taste of many people. We must respect those who do enjoy it. No book makes you a better or worse person; in this case, this book has a great message of perseverance, patience, and following the path of dreams. It is definitely not my favorite; I’m not a big fan of this type of content, but I cannot criticize it as bad. (Translated from Spanish)

      It came to me casually and as if it were an amulet for those times when I was a bit lost in existential doubt.

      Although it is not a book I would recommend... since the topic is quite deep and only for the knowledgeable, it served as a reference for the rest of my days.

      Understanding Alchemy is of utmost importance for our lives. A forgotten knowledge that this book invites you to discover. Despite the fact that one of the paragraphs that marked me the most is when the alchemist tells the apprentice that he cannot be loaded down with books, that life is written and not read... Blessed contradiction. ? (Translated from Spanish)

      I wanted to read this book because I have always been curious to know Coelho's style. I can't say it's a book that I will love, but the truth is that it’s worth highlighting the message it conveys. To fight for our dreams, to keep going despite difficulties no matter how hard the path may be, as many times it is a sign that we are achieving it and that we are the only ones who have the power to accomplish our goal or to hinder it and prevent it from being fulfilled. (Translated from Spanish)

      Jan 22, 2023

      The book speaks to us about the importance of pursuing your dreams, your goals, and that regardless of anything, if you are capable of fighting for them, you can achieve them. It also teaches us that not even love can hold us back, because when a person truly loves you, they will wait as long as necessary for you to achieve what you desire in life. (Translated from Spanish)

      A fast and enjoyable reading book. Very inspiring. Through a story filled with magic and adventures, it encourages you to follow your dreams and not to be afraid, because 'your treasure is wherever your heart is.' (Translated from Spanish)

      The Alchemist is a journey on paper and ink from Spain to the pyramids of Egypt in which, alongside Santiago, a young shepherd from Andalusia, we seek the treasure of self-realization of the personal story. That which we dream and are destined to find if we follow our heart. Throughout this journey, Santiago will encounter various people, dangers, opportunities, learnings, and obstacles that will impart lessons, giving him wisdom and resilience to achieve his goal. Although there are moments during the journey when it seems that the young shepherd has found a home and stability, his path must continue to reinforce the knowledge gained. The Alchemist teaches that learning is in the journey and not in the destination. (Translated from Spanish)

      This beautiful story filled with messages we need to remember brings us back to the beginning, to ourselves, to our dreams, and how for some reason we let them slip away, as well as to what we subconsciously expected from ourselves.

      It is the perfect reminder that there is something in each of us guiding our path and that we must give ourselves the opportunity to go for that "treasure" that awaits each of us. I highly recommend re-reading it as many times as necessary! (Translated from Spanish)

      It's a story that motivates you to fight for your personal dreams, so if you're hesitating about starting something you want, you need to read this book. The story revolves around the world of the signals the universe gives to individuals to help them find their path, so if you don't really like all this about the universe, signals, the interconnectedness of things, etc., you'd better move on because you'll get bored. It's a book that reads quickly; it's great for passing the time, and it immerses you quite well in the story. (Translated from Spanish)

      It's a book that makes you feel like a roller coaster; in some parts you won't understand or something won't make sense, but everything leads to a finale that ties it all together. That ending is unexpected and honestly, it will make you reflect a lot. Excellent book :3 (Translated from Spanish)
