📕 Fiction
The Alchemist
📖 Synopsis
An Andalusian shepherd crosses the desert chasing a dream and finds himself. The most-read fable about one's "personal legend".
✍️ ChatZona's review
The favourite book of millions searching for meaning, and also one of the most critically debated. Coelho writes with a simplicity that can read as depth or as oversimplification depending on the reader's moment in life. The fable works: the shepherd Santiago's journey has rhythm, beautiful imagery, and memorable lines. What it lacks is the complexity real life demands. Comforting and somewhat condescending at the same time — but honest in its proposition.
