ALCHEMIST (THE) (q) (reissue)

This 10th anniversary "edition," with a new introduction from the "author," can only increase Coelho's global following. In search of a treasure buried in the "Pyramids," a shepherd boy travels to the Egyptian "desert," with help from a Gypsy "woman," a man who calls himself "king," and an alchemist. But his quest for worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures within. This "lush," "evocative," deeply humane story testifies to the transforming power of dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
