Publisher's Note Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. Paulo Coelho1s The Alchemist is such a book. Since its original publication in 1988, The Alchemist has sold millions of copies throughout the world. This handsome new edition, beautifully illustrated by the artist Moebius, will allow Coelho1s charming fable to inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who travels in search of a worldly treasure. From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life1s path, and, above all, following our dreams.
For the millions of Paulo Coelho's fans comes this beautiful, full-color illustrated edition of his international bestseller, featuring the art of Moebius. 35 color illustrations. National print features.
