A review by dnietoperafan
El alquimista by Paulo Coelho
4.0
I really did enjoy this book. Some people don't agree with it, but I believe that you can rescue its morals and style. I read The Alchemist in Spanish so that it would be close to its original language, Portuguese; this really helped me fully grasp the fable-ish style that Coelho gives his story. It makes it super easy to read and to understand its messages.
The theme of the Personal Legend and the Soul of the World really spoke to me. Of course, you can't just rely on destiny to make yourself happy and succesful, but having optimism and trusting what the Universe already wrote really takes a lot of the pain and anxiety away. Not everyone will agree with the morals Coelho portrayed, but I believe that there will always be something to be taken with you when reading this types of books.
So even though many people did not enjoy reading The Alchemist, I believe you should give it a chance and take away what you think might help you in your life.
