The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
The Alchemist follows a young shepherd whose search for treasure becomes a larger meditation on courage, desire, signs, and the meaning we make from a journey. Its accessible form opens space for different readers to question what purpose and risk look like in their own lives.
