who Believing a recurring dream to be prophetic, he asks a fortune
teller in the nearby town about its meaning. The woman interprets the dream
as a prophecy telling the boy that he will discover a treasure at the Egyptian
pyramids.
on his journey, he meets an old king named Melchizedek, or the king
of Salem, who tells him to sell his sheep, so as to travel to Egypt, and introduces
the idea of a Personal Legend. Your Personal Legend "is what you have always wanted
to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is.
The Pyramids of Giza
Early in his arrival to Africa, a man who claims to be able to take Santiago to the
pyramids instead robs him of what money he had made from selling his sheep. Santiago
then embarks on a long path of working for a crystal merchant so as to make enough money
to fulfill his personal legend and go to the pyramids.
Along the way, the boy meets an Englishman who has come in search of an alchemist and
continues his travels in his new companion's company. When they reach an oasis, Santiago
meets and falls in love with an Arabian girl named Fatima, to whom he proposes marriage.
She promises to do so only after he completes his journey. Frustrated at first, he later
learns that true love will not stop nor must one sacrifice to it one's personal destiny,
since to do so robs it of truth.
The boy then encounters a wise alchemist who also teaches him to realize his true self.
Together,
they risk a journey through the territory of warring tribes, where the boy is forced to
demonstrate his oneness with "the soul of the world" by turning himself into a simoom before
he is allowed to proceed. When he begins digging within sight of the pyramids, he is robbed
yet again, but accidentally learns from the leader of the thieves that the treasure he sought
all along was in the ruined church where he had his original dream.
