Since i have more than 3 weeks at home, and besides taking photo for my #productiveproject, i have decided to try and finish all the books that i have bought a few months ago . And there were plenty of them ! Huhu. Anyway, i succeeded to start (hoho) , and i have just finished my third book - 'the alchemist' by paulo coelho , just a few hours ago ( i need to celebrate my achievements! Haha ) , which i will share a short synopsis with all of you in the next paragraphs.
The Alchemist, basically, is the story about chasing one's dreams and one never ceases his dreams. We have to make our dreams come true gitu . Haa. Some of us (termasuk aku) takut nak kejar impian sendiri. Maybe sbb rasa diri xlayak. Or maybe sbb takut xdpt capai impian tu. The important thing is that we TRY and ENDEAVOUR. It's not only about to make our dreams come true, it's also about the things that you learn along the way. And buku ni akan bg smgt utk korg terus kejar impian korg . (Hoho)
It's the story of a boy from Andalusia who dreams of travelling. At that particular region, only the rich people and the shepherds often travel. Since he is not from a rich family, he decides to learn everything there is to know about being a shepherd, and later becomes a shepherd himself. After travelling for quite some time, he is having a recurrent dream(he dreamed about a child who was playing with his flock. The child, then, teleported him to the Pyramid of Egypt and told him that there is treasure near the Pyramid), and he thinks of it as a sign, so, he decides to meet a dream interpreter in Tarifa. After listening to the boy's dream, the dream interpreter encourages the boy to go to Egypt and find that treasure.
In order for him to go to Egypt, he needs to get on the ship to cross the sea to Tangir(somewhere in Arab region), so, he decides to sell his flock of sheep to gain some money. In his journey to Egypt, he meets and learns new things from a lot of people such as the king of salem, the crystal merchant, the englishman, and the camel driver.
After riding camels for several weeks, he arrives at the oasis(somewhere in the desert of Egypt, there are thousands of palms, tents and wells at the oasis), he meets an arab girl named Fatima, and he falls in love with her. A few days later, an alchemist(a person that can turn metals into gold) goes to the oasis and meets the boy. Because of several omens, the alchemist guides the boy to find his treasure. Although the boy hesitates to leave Fatima , he thinks that he needs to pursue his dreams and later will come back to her. Along the way to the Pyramids, the boy learns everything there is to know about alchemy and manages to become the most successful disciple of the alchemist. The alchemist bids goodbye to the boy and lets the boy continue the journey alone because the Pyramids is just 3 hours away from them.
Upon arrival at the Pyramids, he digs the sand where his tears fall (its an omen,though), but he finds nothing. A few moments later, several figures (refugees from the tribal war) come and ask him what he is doing. And the boy has to tell them about the recurrent dream and the treasure because they are beating him hard. Moments later, they are leaving and the leader of the refugees tells the boy that he also had a recurrent dream, and in that dream, he was told that there is treasure at an abandoned church in Andalusia, where a shepherd boy is sleeping with his flock. The boy smiles and he knows where should he heads now. His hometown. Andalusia.
Here is the book ! The cover attracts me really well, though. Haha
