Summary
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever。 Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist is such a book With over a million and a half copies sold in Latin America and Europe， The Alchemist has already achieved the status of a modern classic。 Now this charming fable has been translated into English to enchant and inspire an even wider audience for years to come。
Here is the magical story of Santiago， an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found。 From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers into the Egyptian desert where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him。
This is a story that teaches us， as only few stories can， about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts， learning to read the omens strewn along life's path and， above， all follow our dreams。
"Paulo Coelho。。。 has attained the technical levels of a Saint-Exupery or a Richard Bach。" - Folha da Sao Paulo

دو پیام واضح و اصلی داره کتاب، با پیام اول که میگه '' زندگی خلاصه میشه تو تجربه کردن حالا چه دردناک و سخت یا خیلی لذت بخش و عالی'' موافقم و تو کتاب هم عالی نمایش داده شده。 ولی پیام دومی که چند بار هم داخل کتاب تکرار میشه و میگه '' کائنات برای رسیدن تو به حدیث خودت همراهیت میکنه'' رو با توجه به تجربه زیست بیست ساله ای که داشتم نمیتونم قبول کنم。 بهترین بخش کتاب قسمتی هست که درمورد عشق صحبت میکنه و جملات و دیالوگ های بی نظیری سرتاسر کتاب هست ولی باتوجه به دو کتابی از این نویسنده خوندم متوجه شدم که دو پیام واضح و اصلی داره کتاب، با پیام اول که میگه '' زندگی خلاصه میشه تو تجربه کردن حالا چه دردناک و سخت یا خیلی لذت بخش و عالی'' موافقم و تو کتاب هم عالی نمایش داده شده。 ولی پیام دومی که چند بار هم داخل کتاب تکرار میشه و میگه '' کائنات برای رسیدن تو به حدیث خودت همراهیت میکنه'' رو با توجه به تجربه زیست بیست ساله ای که داشتم نمیتونم قبول کنم。 بهترین بخش کتاب قسمتی هست که درمورد عشق صحبت میکنه و جملات و دیالوگ های بی نظیری سرتاسر کتاب هست ولی باتوجه به دو کتابی از این نویسنده خوندم متوجه شدم که سبک نوشتاریشون درکل مورد سلیقه من نیست。 。。。more

irgendwie war es schon ganz entspannt zu lesen， aber dieses law of attraction， find your passion war etwas cringy。Hätte ich es vor ein paar Jahren gelesen wäre es bestimmt revolutionär gewesen， aber allein die ganzen goodreads reviews haben auch meine Meinung dazu beeinflusst。Es stimmt， die ganzen Metaphern und die ganze Geschichte ist so konzipiert， dass du AUCH WIRKLICH checkst， um was es geht， es wird ja tausendmal drüber gefahren。Am Ende ist es halt dieser perfekte Kreis der Geschichte a la irgendwie war es schon ganz entspannt zu lesen， aber dieses law of attraction， find your passion war etwas cringy。Hätte ich es vor ein paar Jahren gelesen wäre es bestimmt revolutionär gewesen， aber allein die ganzen goodreads reviews haben auch meine Meinung dazu beeinflusst。Es stimmt， die ganzen Metaphern und die ganze Geschichte ist so konzipiert， dass du AUCH WIRKLICH checkst， um was es geht， es wird ja tausendmal drüber gefahren。Am Ende ist es halt dieser perfekte Kreis der Geschichte a la "lass für eine Weile das hinter dir， um am Ende wieder zurückzukommen"。Aber trotzdem irgendwie， wie gesagt， ganz nett zu lesen。Zitat eines Freunds dazu: "Schwachsinnsschwurbelei" 。。。more

I love this piece of art。 It is thought-provoking， slow but manages to still be incredibly interesting。

Good book Story was quiet good。 Story was very fictional as the king appeared and that all that's what I didn't like but otherwise the book was great。 I learnt a lot of things from this book and I will definitely apply them in my life。The best thing I loved was that he never gave up and always worked for his dream as he wanted to become shepherd Good book Story was quiet good。 Story was very fictional as the king appeared and that all that's what I didn't like but otherwise the book was great。 I learnt a lot of things from this book and I will definitely apply them in my life。The best thing I loved was that he never gave up and always worked for his dream as he wanted to become shepherd 。。。more

2。75No tenía tantas ganas de leerlo porque se puso demasiado de moda hace un tiempo， y toda la gente lo alababa como mejor libro por frases como: "Cuando realmente se desea algo， el universo conspira para que lo consigas"。 Desde entonces， ha hecho mucho daño a los psicólogos （junto con otros como Jodorowsky， que no digo que sean malos， pero hay que separar literatura de lo demás）。¿Mi opinión？ Pues es un libro muy sencillo， tal vez demasiado para lo que intenta explicar en él， creo que roza demas 2。75No tenía tantas ganas de leerlo porque se puso demasiado de moda hace un tiempo， y toda la gente lo alababa como mejor libro por frases como: "Cuando realmente se desea algo， el universo conspira para que lo consigas"。 Desde entonces， ha hecho mucho daño a los psicólogos （junto con otros como Jodorowsky， que no digo que sean malos， pero hay que separar literatura de lo demás）。¿Mi opinión？ Pues es un libro muy sencillo， tal vez demasiado para lo que intenta explicar en él， creo que roza demasiado la magia y fantasía， incluso la religión。 Algunas de sus lecciones o frases célebres las repite mucho y son muy discutibles， como antes he dicho。 Está bien para un momento， cuando deseas leer algo simple， famoso， sin muchas pretensiones。 Ya sé que es antiguo， supongo que cuando se publicó fue una revolución， pero no es tan científico como esperaba， sino mucho más místico。 。。。more

heavy-handed with no material substance， but written like a children's fable。 comforting enough to lull yourself to sleep and to dream - ironically。 not grounded in reality。jeremy irons makes for a great narrator。 heavy-handed with no material substance， but written like a children's fable。 comforting enough to lull yourself to sleep and to dream - ironically。 not grounded in reality。jeremy irons makes for a great narrator。 。。。more

Thoroughly insightful and enjoyable！ Listening to the audiobook version litteraly takes us back to our childhood， on a hazardous journey with the character throughout the dessert。Great lessons in life that one should always remind。

This book tells a great life lesson。 It's like an ancient proverb but in book form。 Also the audio book is so fun because Jeremy Irons （aka the guy who voices scar in lion king） reads it。 I would listen to any book read by him。 This book tells a great life lesson。 It's like an ancient proverb but in book form。 Also the audio book is so fun because Jeremy Irons （aka the guy who voices scar in lion king） reads it。 I would listen to any book read by him。 。。。more

An enchanting and easy story， full of many truths about the real world put in different metaphors。I read this book to unwind after a loaded workday， and it really does its thing。I wish the end of the story wasn't so rushed。 An enchanting and easy story， full of many truths about the real world put in different metaphors。I read this book to unwind after a loaded workday， and it really does its thing。I wish the end of the story wasn't so rushed。 。。。more

Być może 100 książek temu bardziej by mi się spodobało。 Ma w sobie jakiś rodzaj głębi， jednak mam przeczucie， że po prostu nie zgadzamy się z panem Coelho na poziomie światopoglądowym。

This book is incredible。 It feels like a spiritual journey in and of itself。 The writing feels like a lesson and the story is well thought out， and easy to stir your imagination。 I read it when I was 14， and it’s one of my favorites！

A book that provides me with a wholesome worldview: the world is one， we are all one， we all come from the Soul of the World and after we die， we all go there。 The desert cares for the falcon's game， and the falcon feeds on it， and the men eat the falcon and when the men die they become a part of the dessert。 The game becomes the falcon， becomes the men， becomes the desert， becomes the men。 A concept of "inter-being" in Buddhism。 It also reminds me the key to happiness is to live not in the past A book that provides me with a wholesome worldview: the world is one， we are all one， we all come from the Soul of the World and after we die， we all go there。 The desert cares for the falcon's game， and the falcon feeds on it， and the men eat the falcon and when the men die they become a part of the dessert。 The game becomes the falcon， becomes the men， becomes the desert， becomes the men。 A concept of "inter-being" in Buddhism。 It also reminds me the key to happiness is to live not in the past， not in the future， but in the present。 To live in the present is to pay attention to and appreciate every little moment in our life journey， when we are striving towards our goals， our Personal Legends。Don't be afraid to fail and be dare to chase our Personal Legends， but also remember to look around and appreciate the beautiful scenery on the way。 。。。more

While this book was interesting to read， I was underwhelmed by the writing。 Of course， the translation affects the quality of writing， but I couldn't， at all， get into the style of writing。 The plot， however， is quite interesting。 The Alchemist is not for everybody， not everyone will identify with Santiago。 The novel cleverly combines words of wisdom， philosophy， and simplicity of meaning and language， and this is what makes it so enchanting。 While this book was interesting to read， I was underwhelmed by the writing。 Of course， the translation affects the quality of writing， but I couldn't， at all， get into the style of writing。 The plot， however， is quite interesting。 The Alchemist is not for everybody， not everyone will identify with Santiago。 The novel cleverly combines words of wisdom， philosophy， and simplicity of meaning and language， and this is what makes it so enchanting。 。。。more
