About this product

Product Information

Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. This is such a book -- a magical fable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along life's path and, above, all follow your dreams. This is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who dreams of travelling the world in search of a worldly treasure as fabulous as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers, and from there into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him With Paulo's visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, The Alchemist is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people's lives

    Arrived quickly. Excellent condition & great value. Looks & feels brand new. There are a few pages that have been underlined which I would have preferred not to be there, but other than that I'm very happy with it. Can recommend WOB & will use them again.

    Hi Although this book was not new it was listed as being in very good condition, I have to say I was somewhat disappointed when it arrived as the book had clearly suffered from water damage as has quite wrinkled and curled pages whilst this does not render the book illegible, it does look quite shabby.

    Great book, Must read.

    If you read any self development book this has to be it. It's a great book and one you can read over and over again. It is also a compelling story so not the usual boring, 'you are wonderful, you and beautiful' stuff you get in some books. Although I'm sure you are!! Delivery was also quick and I would have no problem using this company again.

    It was very used, pages had stains but I wiped it all down and the book itself was excellent.

  • A lovely fable

    It is simple, nicely written and heart warming. The concepts within are not completely as I know the world to be, however I was pleased for Santiago the young man who followed his dreams and signs, and these manifested for him. In the book I received, the part concerning the story of Narcissus was missing which is quite fundamental to the tale itself. I had to be filled in by an electronic review so the story came together. I would overall recommend the novel as it is a pleasing read and you can go back to it at any time.

  • Another enlightening and captivating read

    I read this in two days, couldn’t put it down. For me it was a book that captured the magic and wonder all around us , and I have bought this for my sister to read as I feel she needs it. Paulo Cohello has an amazing way of writing in a way that allows you to visualise , and take you right Into the book. I would recommend to all, especially those on a spiritual path , or those who have lost the magic in their lives !

  • Thought-provoking, easy to read novel

    I read this book years ago and it was very thought provoking; so much so, that I bought it for a friend who is just embarking on her spiritual journey.
