Paulo Coelho's story tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure.

Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.
