以下为英文的简介：

This international bestseller about the shepherd boy Santiago

who learns how to live his dreams includes an inspiring afterwards by the author.

The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique

situation.

Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coelho（保罗科艾略）introduces Santiago, an Andalucian shepherd boy

who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain

to literally follow his dream. Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in

unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's

books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists: men who believed that if a metal were heated

for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would

be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing

student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda， while also emboldening

him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy

confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night. "Tell your heart that the

fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself，" the alchemist replies. "And that no heart

has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams， because every second of the search is a

second's encounter with God and with eternity."

Paulo Coelho was born in Brazil and has become one of the most widely read authors in the world

today. Renowned for his best-loved work The Alchemist, he has sold over 600 million books worldwide

and has been translated into 68 languages. The recipient of numerous prestigious awards, he is a

storyteller with the power to inspire nations and change people’s lives.
