&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on
simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may
sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient
tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of
entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian
storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who
one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he^s
off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.</span></span><span style="font-family:&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US"></span></p>

<p class="p2"><span alt=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who
come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In
one of the Englishman^s books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men
who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself
of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of
the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the
ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy^s misguided
agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is
afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one
night as they look up at a moonless night.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US"></span></span></p>
