The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Book title: The Alchemist
Author: Paulo Coelho
Format: PDF, epub, mobi

The Alchemist is written originally in Portuguese and was translated to at least 67 different languages. It is one of the best-selling books in the world.

這本使用葡萄牙文寫的書已被翻譯成至少67種不同語言，是歷史上最暢銷的書之一。

This book follows a young shepherd, Santiago, in his journey to Egypt to find his treasure. Santiago encountered love, loss, fear, and danger and learned to understand himself and the ways of the world. He met an alchemist who taught him to listen to his heart and his lover who encouraged him to pursue his destiny. The story is well told and is full with words which inspire people. It is a short story, but will make you want to read it again. I highly recommend this book to everyone, young and old. If you are young it definitely is a book you need to read. If you are not that young, it is a book that makes you wonder why you didn't read this book earlier, but it's not too late. Life begins just now.

OMG!!!!!!!!! Paulo Coelho is my favorite author!!!! I bought every single one of his books!!!!! The Alchemist is inspiring!!! It lets you view your life journey in a different perspective!!! I've read this twice already!!!!! I'm now looking forward to his latest book, Manuscript Found In Accra (English version) to be released in April; I've been waiting for it for too long!!!!!!!!

You know what? The first book that I bought written by Paulo Coelho was "Eleven Minutes"; I was amazed by the title and wanted to know what the eleven minutes stands for, lol, and it's actually related to sex, lol. Shocking, eh? I personally love reading "The Manual of the Warrior of Light", "Veronika Decides to Die", and "The Devil and Miss Prym". All these are so inspirational and spiritual ...

“The Alchemist” is my first Paulo Coelho’s book. Thank you for your introduction of Paolo Coelho's works to me in other post. For the youth living in Asia, following their heart to their destiny is difficult if not impossible. They don't have any choice except fitting themselves into the rigid system, or they may not have time to think about their dreams. I am jealous of Santiago's freedom in doing what he wants. His lover encouraged him to realize his dream. His determination led him to his goal. Someone may argue that we make decisions following our heart. Yes, that's true. But Santiago has only himself and his sheep to feed and his promise to his lover to live with, and he got the treasures he can live on. Now where will be his next destiny? After he returned to his lover, I wonder if he will be the same person as he was trying to fulfill his dream. Hopefully his heart won't change its course and his god is still doing magic to turn him to wind. Life can not be judged as a success or a failure. We live our ways. Everyone should have a dream and have courage to pursue it. Successful or not it is a journey. It is life. We freely make decisions and have to take the consequences. It is not necessarily a happy ending, but at least an acceptable one if we do our best. I don't like the ending of “The Alchemist” though it is a little unexpected. A real materialized treasure reduces the value of this book. I prefer that the book should have shown that what are learned in the journey and the maturity of a young person are the treasures Santiago rewarded.

Another reason why no one is downloading the book is due to the fact that most netizens who come here don't really have a good command of English and your introductory post full of English scares them away, lol. That's the same with my posts too, hardly anyone replies them, lol. I started a few new topics in this English forum, but the replies are scarce. Guess too many unknown English words have frightened away the poor learners, my bad. =\
I mean you can count how many actually replies in English here, lol....
