  This month’s book: The Alchemist
Author: Paulo Coelho
Description: A magical fable about learning to listen to your heart, The Alchemist teachers its readers to notice the omens strewn along life's path and, above, all follow your dreams. This is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who dreams of travelling the world in search of a worldly treasure as fabulous as any ever found. From his home in Spain, he journeys to the markets of Tangiers, and from there into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him. With Paulo Coelho's visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, "The Alchemist" is a story with the power to inspire nations and change people's lives.
The Alchemist has sold over 30 million copies sold worldwide and has been published in 150 countries in 63 languages.
