The Alchemist (1988) is Coelho's most famous book. To date, this tale of an Andalusian shepherd boy who travels the world in search of wisdom has sold more than 30 million copies!
The essence of its appeal is the central idea that anyone can change their life.
According to AN Wilson (FT) this is a fundamentally false idea. Most people are trapped by circumstance.
But fascinated how this writer could persuade so many people!
