Originally written in Portuguese, but later rewritten in other languages, this story is about a young shepherd boy name Santiago who has a recurring dream of finding treasure in Egypt. Thinking this dream as prophetic, he makes his journey there. On his journey, Santiago encounters many things like falling in love with a woman named Fatima and meeting a lone alchemist who tells him of personal legends.
