Book Review: The Alchemist This book was suggested to me by my best friend and my son. The Alchemist tells the story of a young shepherd in Spain who has a dream about the Pyramids. He sees a fortune teller who tells him he should travel to the Pyrmamids, then he meets an old man who also tells him to travel in order to fulfill his life's destiny. He decides to sell his sheep and travel. He runs into many troubles, but meets many kind people who help him, as he helps them. He finally meets the Alchemist in an Oasis on the way to the Pyramids. He learns much about himself and the world, about belief and personal strength. It is a wonderfully written book about personal growth. 12:00:12 PM
