Explanation:
The Alchemist is about a young shepherd boy from Andalusia who travels to Egypt in search of his Personal Legend.
As he journeys, he learns that the most important thing in life is to follow his heart and do what feels right to him. The boy finds that his Personal Legend is revealed when he follows his heart, rather than when he tries to follow society’s expectations of him.
The book was written by Paulo Coelho, who also wrote The Pilgrimage and other books with similar themes.
