The Alchemist (Portuguese: O Alquimista) is a novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho that was first published in 1988.

An allegorical novel, The Alchemist follows a young Andalusian shepherd in his journey to the pyramids of Egypt, after having a recurring dream of finding a treasure there.
I don't actually recall the plot; I read it when I was still a youngster. I remember it made a lasting impression about chasing dreams and not giving up. Maybe it is worth a re-read now as an adult.

2.5, It had its inspiring moments but overall was full of farce.
