The magical storey of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd kid who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure, is told in Paulo Coelho’s masterwork. His quest will bring him to riches unlike anything he could have imagined—and far more rewarding. Santiago’s journey teaches us the importance of listening to our hearts, recognising opportunity, learning to understand the omens that appear along life’s path, and, most importantly, following our aspirations.
