My thoughts on “The Alchemist”

You probably read the book “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. If not then I will recommend you to take a break from your busy routine read the book.

The Alchemist is my one of the favorite fictional book that I have ever read. First time I read the book in 2016 when one of my cousins bought it from a college book fair. So I pick the book and start reading. So when I finish I don’t understand very much but I like the story of how the boy travels in the Sahara desert and met with so many people.

That was the first time. So after that, I decided that I should read it again. Since then I read this book every year. And in 2021 it’s my sixth read to The Alchemist. Even though I already read the book number of times, but whenever I read it again I learn so many new things and I feel very motivated and every time it helps me to go further in life and follow my dreams.

The book is about a boy who lives in Andalusia, Spain. He had dreamed twice about a treasure that was hidden near Egyptian pyramids and he wanted to realize his dream. For this, he meets with so many people and crosses the entire Sahara Desert to reach Egypt where his treasure was hidden. During his journey, he met with an Arab girl with whom he fell in love and wanted to marry. At the end of the story, he reached his destination.

The story is very interesting and motivational. I again recommended everyone to read the story. If you already read the story please feel free to reply and tell about your feeling about The Alchemist.
