A simple story that The Alchemist book brings to readers
'The Alchemist' is considered a book for those who are wondering and looking for direction. And it is a wonderful journey for everyone.
Santiago's journey to "find his dream".
The work is a story about a young shepherd boy Santiago living in Spain. He gave up his parents' plans to go here and there and feel this life.
One night, he chose to sleep in a ruined church. There is a large mulberry tree growing in the dressing room. In his sleep, the boy had a strange dream.
He found himself led to the Egyptian Pyramids and searched for treasure.
A dream is inherently just a dream. Many of us have dreamed similar dreams. But does anyone wake up and believe in dreams? Is there anyone who, because of a dream, would give up their life to search for what they see?
However, Paulo Coelho's boy Santiago actually did that paradoxical thing. The guy gave up everything to go to Egypt to search for the treasure of his dreams.
It was a difficult and somewhat paranoid journey.
Sometimes he was cheated, sometimes he lost everything and was hungry. But it's nothing! When we want something, we will join forces with the universe to achieve our dreams.
Having gone through many difficulties, Santiago finally arrived at an oasis. That's when he met Fatima - the person who captivated him at first sight.
Sometimes, he thought his love for Fatima was a treasure. But then, he realized he needed to fulfill his dream by continuing his journey.
The gentle writing style captivates people's hearts
The story of Santiago's journey is somewhat simple. However, Paulo Coelho's writing style turns it into a wonderful journey. That lovely writing style makes readers forget and become engrossed. It feels like reading a fairy tale, a collection of Andersen's fairy tales.
In the end, after going through clear experiences, Santiago found happiness. He realized that happiness and treasure are all along the way. It is not a destination, it is the journey people are passionately searching for.
The Alchemist book and the story are intense to the point of being normal
Throughout the book The Alchemist, the most obvious thing is Santiago's passion and intense desire for the ideal of traveling the world. He ignored people's criticism and ridicule. All just so you can easily immerse yourself in nature and the universe.
At the last minute, Santiago finds treasure in the same place where he grew up. In the ancient church, he understood the deepest meaning of the word happiness. Sometimes, we ourselves will have to go very far, travel a lot over long distances. All the dangers on that journey only help you realize that happiness lies right at your feet.
Santiago's story unfolds so fiercely, so passionately. But there, we also feel normality and familiarity. Each person can see that somewhere there is a part of Santiago that resembles them. Or at least, we have all at least once longed to live like that shepherd boy.
The Alchemist is not only a novel, but also a guide to life, helping us better understand our goals, dreams and the process of realizing them. True to the title, The Alchemist has a profound meaning - the conversion of difficulties and challenges into precious gold, or in other words, the way we turn life's experiences into valuable lessons.
The strong message of this work is to encourage readers to pursue “Personal Mysticism” – which is each person's unique dreams and goals. The book promotes the importance of pursuing your passion, no matter how many challenges you face, and believes that the universe always supports those who strongly pursue their dreams.
The Alchemist has made a profound impact on readers around the world. The messages that the work brings such as believing in yourself, patience, and perseverance have helped many people find the motivation to overcome difficulties and continue pursuing their goals.
The Alchemist books are not for everyone
The popularity of this work is beyond debate. But it's not a work for everyone. There are many people who, after reading it, still cannot understand what made Santiago and his journey famous.
But if you need motivation and are looking for your destiny, try experiencing 'The Alchemist'. This is the book to help you find your way and show you the way.
Do not be shy! Because life is inherently very generous to those who dare to pursue their destiny!
