And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 0px;\"\u003eAlong 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 1px 18px;padding:0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eASIN : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8172234988\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003ePublisher : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarper; Later Printing edition (17 October 2005)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eLanguage : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003ePaperback : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e172 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eISBN-10 : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9788172234980\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eItem Weight : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eDimensions : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12.9 x 1.5 x 19.8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eCountry of Origin : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eNet Quantity : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20.00 count\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style:none;margin:0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eGeneric Name : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Alchemist 12.9 x 1.5 x 19.8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CGA Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42191518269525,"sku":"9788172234980","price":1990.0,"currency_code":"LKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/9642\/6581\/files\/150_8f2ba9ef-ab62-4dc9-a8ab-905ed7ddc8d8.jpg?v=1772360772","url":"https:\/\/cgabooksonline.com\/products\/the-alchemist-by-paulo-coelho-2","provider":"CGA Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
