Where is the happiness that philosophers, scholars, and ordinary people seek?
The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
“When you want something, all of the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it,” he had said.
The Brew
Even if happiness appears far away in our lives, it is actually very close to us. Being in this search for it is actually a part of the adventure called life. The inspiring book “The Alchemist” by renowned Brazilian author Paulo Coelho de Souza tells us about this adventure.
Whenever the young Santiago, the protagonist of the book, falls asleep under a fig tree, the length of which damages the ceiling of his local church, he dreams of a little boy who keeps telling him to follow a treasure. Consulting a gypsy fortune teller, Santiago learns that this is a prophecy that must be fulfilled and that he must follow his dream. Surprised by the strange prophecy, the young shepherd sets off on his adventure at any cost. Throughout his journey, we discover the depths within ourselves. We burn with the desire to travel and discover. This book gives us the courage to listen to our inner voice, and endeavor to follow it. And it makes us realize that the treasure we are looking for is always within us.
“When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
Written in 1987 in just two weeks, Coelho claimed that the story was already written in the reader’s soul.
The Brazilian writer left his Faculty of Law at the age of 23 and traveled throughout South America, Europe, and North Africa. After 2 years he returned home and became a well-known songwriter in his country. At the beginning of his career, he was imprisoned for his activist activities against the Brazilian government.
