Join us for this month's book: 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho
The Tuesday Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month. We discuss a wide variety of genres but focus on popular fiction and nonfiction.
The Alchemist combines magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery and spiritual healing to become a modern classic, move millions across the globe and transform the lives of countless readers across generations. The novel helps them find inner peace, strength, gratitude and a deeper, divine connection with themselves and the world around them.
This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a woman, a man who calls himself a king and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery that the most valuable treasures are those found within.
Lush, evocative and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts. No matter where you are in life’s journey, allow this profound fable to awaken you to the beauty of the present, the hope of the future and what it truly means to be human and at peace.
Year after year, across generations, Paulo Coelho's profound and enduring work remains fresh and vital for readers today. These pages, featuring new illustrations and giftable, high-quality paper, beam with the message that if we trust in ourselves and our inner strength and wisdom, we can navigate all of life’s complexities with grace and resilience. Discover your dreams and your truth with The Alchemist.
