Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Paulo Coelho has taken on the reputation of a modern-day mystic, an artist whose work is at once practical self-help, myth, New Age spiritualism, and personal inspiration. Coelho's reputation centers around his unfaltering belief in the inherent value of each individual, and the potential of every person to achieve greatness. The Alchemist is his treatise to the world. In it he asserts the importance of following dreams, even in the face of obstacles, and explores the reasons why this pursuit so often becomes complicated, difficult, and fraught with fear and danger.
