Today I’d like to introduce you with the world’s most translated and inspirable
novel ‘The Alchemist’.
Review:
It’s
a very simple story. The main character of the story of a Andalusian shepherd
boy Santiago often see in his dream a little boy say him to looking to the treasury
hidden beneath the Egyptian Pyramids. Santiago wants to know interpretation of
the dreams of a gypsy. Gypsy tells him to go to Egypt. Also said, it was his
goals should be. A mysterious man who claims himself the king of Salem, he said
him also to go to Egypt as the gypsy.
Santiago
reached Tangier by selling his whole flock of sheep and there he facing thief
and be poor. Now he has not have money to go to Egypt. He becomes depressed. He
took a job in a shop. He worked for nearly a year and earned enough money to
return home and start a business. But at last he was not to go back home, he
was going to Egypt.
In
the Sahara desert he was introduced with an English man who was going to
Al-Phaum to seeking the Alchemist, from whom he will learn the secrets of
alchemy. Santiago continued his journey to his goal and he was introduced the
200 years old Alchemist. Is Santiago till to his goal the treasure, the bottom
of the pyramid or after introducing the Alchemist will he decide a new goal?
As
I said earlier the story is very simple but great writing. People say the
author Coelho is the world’s most inspirable writer. In the story metaphor is
here and there. By the story of an ordinary cow boy’s journey to the Egypt, the
author means that people should not confused to implementation their dream. If
you harbour a realistic dream, a goal was set, no matter how difficult the way
you must reach the goal. Even if you want to go back into the depressed, you
can not go back because then the whole world will devise for you to reach your
goals.
The
author give another message, we should not stop dreaming. Because he could see
that the dream could become reality.
