Novels by Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist

Santiago is a young shepherd in Andalusia who has grown restless with his ordinary life, and he keeps returning to a recurring dream about a hidden treasure near the Egyptian pyramids. Before he sets out, an old man he meets in a town square tells him to follow the dream. Santiago sells his flock, crosses to Africa, and joins a caravan through the desert. Along the way he meets a mysterious alchemist and begins to learn about the idea of a personal legend and the lessons it holds for living.
