   • bioText:

     One of the most influential writers of our time, Paulo Coelho is the author of thirty international bestsellers, including The Alchemist, Warrior of the Light, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, and Eleven Minutes. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Paulo is the recipient of 115 international prizes and awards, among them, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland.

fullDescription

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

OVER 80 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

"Translated into 80 languages, the allegory teaches us about dreams, destiny, and the reason we are all here."—Oprah Daily, "Best Self-Help Books of a Generation"

"It's a brilliant, magical, life-changing book that continues to blow my mind with its lessons. [...] A remarkable tome."—Neil Patrick Harris, actor

A special 25th anniversary edition of the extraordinary international bestseller, including a new foreword by Paulo Coelho.

Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom, and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations.

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

"A magical little volume."—San Francisco Chronicle

"[This] Brazilian wizard makes books disappear from stores."—The New York Times

"A sweetly exotic tale for young and old alike."—Publishers Weekly
