With The Alchemist, author Paulo Coelho has touched more lives than he could have ever imagined.
The world-famous book, which has been around for almost two decades, is still among the most read books in the world. It has even garnered fans like actor Will Smith, singers Madonna and Pharrell Williams, and former United States President.
