I read this many years ago and this time listened to the audiobook version read by Jeremy Irons. This brief story is about a young Andalusian shepherd named Santiago who sets out on a journey to visit the Pyramids where a recurring dream told him he would find treasure. On the way he gains and loses fortunes, falls in love, faces the dangers of warring tribes, meets a king and an alchemist, and learns his treasure is back where he started from. Santiago's journey is about listening to your heart. Irons does a good job of presenting the story. I found it interesting that in a few parts he sounded quite a bit like Neil Gaiman.
