His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.""When I'm on the set with young actors and sometimes you meet people in life who you feel they are a little confused and they want to be re-centred, there are two books that I always recommend. One of them is Siddhartha, and the other is The Alchemist." - Russell CroweBeautifully rendered, The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel is a must-have for any collector's library.Paulo Coelho has become one of the most widely read authors in the world today, having been the author of 30 books that have sold over 320 million copies in 170 countries.
