An Excerpt from The Alchemist

January 31, 2021

In the fourth episode, we present to you an excerpt from The Alchemist. In this excerpt, Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy, embarks on a long path of working for a crystal merchant so as to make enough money to fulfill his personal legend and go to the pyramids, after having a recurring dream of finding a treasure there. Originally written in Portuguese, the novel became a widely translated international bestseller and has been translated to more than 70 languages. 
Paulo Coelho in this enchanting story shows that how your journey to your destiny is as important as the destiny itself.
