QUEST IN THE ALCHEMIST

THis book defines the quest narrative. The Alchemist tells the story of a young shepherd named Santiago who is able to find a treasure beyond his wildest dreams. Along the way, he learns to listen to his heart and, more importantly, realizes that his dreams, or his Personal Legend, are not just his but part of the Soul of the Universe. All of the life lessons he discovers are born out of Santiago's initial quest.
