The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

5.0

The book Alchemist encourages us to follow our dreams, follow omens, follow what your heart says, speak the language of the world and connect with the soul of the world. Santiago a shepherd boy from the Spanish province of Andalusia dreamt that a child is saying to the boy that there is a treasure in the Pyramids of Egypt. He dreamt it all in a church, under a Sycamore. He travels and travels to find his treasure and to meet up with an old dream interpreter, an old king, a thief, a crystal merchant, an English man, a camel driver, tribal war men, Arabs, Fatima, and then the Alchemist. He learns a lot from all of these people and reached the Pyramids in the end. But he didn't find his treasure but the knowledge of the world and its people. And later he realizes that his beloved treasure that he searched for all these days was under the Sycamore, over which he slept on in Andalusia.
