The Alchemist is written by author Brazilian name Paulo Coelho. The Alchemist is a novel that gives us encouragement in pursuit of their own dreams and concept of something good then it gives a different perspective. The novel is the story of a boy with a dream to travel to the world and abandon the things that his father had given him and to be the shepherd. During his journey that find new things and learn a lot of things that he has met. I like this story because, in this story, it was great and give many ideas to life. There is one sentence that I like is The Darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.
