About this listen
Editorial reviews
With a chorus of followers worldwide singing its praises, The Alchemist delivers soul-stirring wisdom to motivate anyone whose dreams are seemingly out of reach.
Described as an inspiring fable, The Alchemist is a metaphorical tale of author Paulo Coelho’s journey of self-discovery through following his heart. The enchanting audiobook follows Santiago, a humble young shepherd who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a mysterious buried treasure. The fictional story of a shepherd boy's bold journey into the unknown to find a fortune reveals itself as a reflection of the riches found within each of us.
Narrated by esteemed actor Jeremy Irons, every spoken word in this audiobook is unforgettable and ropes you along the journey. Clear, commanding and distinct, Irons’s gifted voice has lent itself broadly from Scar in Disney’s The Lion King (1994) movie to the English-language audio guide for Westminster Abbey in London.
Whilst the tale may be fiction, the lessons are real and readily applicable. The Alchemist is compass-like, offering guidance on finding your direction and purpose in life. As Santiago’s quest reveals, obstacles and fear are overcome when you acknowledge what your heart tells you and allow yourself to be drawn towards what you truly love. Download The Alchemist and prepare to become invested in the transformative power of your dreams.
Critic Reviews
"The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams." (Publishers Weekly)
"It is short, but certainly packs a wallop. What makes the story even better is Jeremy Irons's unforgettable narration.... Irons's voice is crystal clear, and every word is given its own starring role in the text. He creates wondrous characters, male and female, that stay with us." (AudioFile)
It has a mystical, spiritual theme about it that i think is refreshing compared to other books in the self improvement genre.
Jeremy Irons was a good narrator, his coarse voice fit the book perfectly.
