Let’s Dive Deep into The Alchemist, a Masterpiece by Paulo Coelho
The Alchemist is a famous book by Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho, first published in 1988. Over the years, this book has held a special place in everyone’s hearts. It magically portrays a beautiful journey of self-discovery, realizations, and reflections.
The book depicts the journey of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago, who frequently dreams of a hidden treasure. To make his dreams come true, he embarks on a journey to find the treasure and meets various characters who help him along the way. As turning on the pages the journey gets filled with self-discovery and spiritual awakening. But the question remains: does the boy find the hidden treasure?
The Alchemist beautifully presents the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction. The story is a powerful transformation of a young boy to his legend. A tale of not giving up, a story that goes beyond the borders, and a metaphorical quest. The strong use of metaphors with vivid emotion is highly praiseworthy.
Here are some of my favorite lines from the book:
“Trust in your heart, but never forget that you are in the desert. When a man is at war with one another, the soul of the world can hear the screams of the battle. No one fails to suffer the consequences of everything under the sun.”
– The Alchemist
“Every search begins with beginner’s luck . And every search ends with the victors being severely tested.”
– The Alchemist
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.”
– The Alchemist
“Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the language of the world.”
–The Alchemist
In the journey called life, we often feel stuck and suffocated. We get lost in the desires that our heart wants to give up. But only if we hold a grip on ourselves and don’t let ourselves be drowned in the wave of helplessness we can achieve and feel in the edge moments of our life. The magic of chasing our dreams beyond all the odds and not losing hope is our strongest emotion. When we are finally able to find the hidden treasure that lies within us, our desires will turn into reality. Overall, the message of the book is really amazing and inspirational.
I suggest you get your hands on The Alchemist right away.
