The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Whispersync: Audible ($3.95) | Kindle ($11.99)
Most of us would be happy to listen to Jeremy Irons silken voice read us anything—the label on his sweater, an old grocery list—but to hear him tell one of the world's most enchanting stories is to be completely hypnotized by his incredible talents. This is the audiobook of a lifetime.
Paulo Coelho's rapturous novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods, turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is art eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
Hear Jeremy Irons tell Paulo Coelho's legendary story, and be inspired to listen to your own heart, too.
