The travels of a shepherd and what he finds out about life, as he searches for the treasure he has seen in his dream. He follows his dream and finds his treasure in a hard, different, but special way.

The way the story ended. It was a beautiful ending with wonderful meanings.

Read another inspirational book of the author Paulo Coelho.

Great. After reading the book, I felt strong in living; it gave me a different and better outlook towards life itself. My faith in God was even strengthened as well, I say. It made me feel so much and it improved my way of living.

Paulo Coelho is my favorite inspirational writer. He writes simply but everything he writes about is always full of meaning that teaches something important to whoever reads it.

It inspired me so much and it also encouraged me to follow my dream. I figured that it would do the same to others as well, or even better.

It is so great! It really is! It is most suitable to people who need encouraging and inspiration. This book is a treasure, that far exceeds the value of gold. This is the international bestseller!
