Starting to read

Started reading my book yesterday and nothing clearly special is felt here, only that this writing goes with a flow. The language in the book is pretty simple so it`s not a hard read and same time quite feels very intriguing. Reading so far i understood that to trusting everyone at first eyesight is something that needs to be interrupted .

I am reading a book called The alchemist and it is written by an Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho. I considered this book because I found out that it had an adventurous story in it and also because it is an international bestseller.
The book is about a young boy who got willed to follow his destiny after he saw his goal “a treasure” one night in his dreams. The boy dreamed of traveling at young age but because his family was poor he decided to become a shepherd, as it was the only possibility for him to make his dream come through. And the day he got had his dream, he went straight to an gypsy women to tell him where the treasure was hidden, unfortunately the gypsy women didn’t say much and before that the boy agreed even to give her a part of the treasure when he found it, disappointed he walked away and later that day he met a girl. He got maybe in love in the first eyesight or just strongly attached to her? He talked with her a couple of times but suddenly the girl was forbidden to talk to him by her father, because her father was a textile merchant and that meant that she was only allowed to be with someone like a baker but not an shepherd. Later The boy sat at an bench one evening with a sight on the girls house angrily trying to figure out how to get her to him, but one of  a sudden a man came and introduced himself as the king of salem, he gave him advice of wisdom and asked  him a part of his sheep in exchange telling him where his treasure is hidden. The boy was stunned and decided to leave his land for his destiny. He sold his sheep and left a part for the man.  When he saw the man’s house and how he was dressed he got shocked and believed that he was truly the real king. He exchanged his sheep for the kings tale and heard the same story as the gypsy women told him. Anger and disappointment came but dropped after he got 2 stones that were magical one of them meant a yes and the other a no. That convinced him to move toward his destiny and he aborded a ship and sailed away. Arriving at the shore he went to a bar there he met another boy his size and started to plan where they should take  route. The city he was in had an language he could not understand and the other one offerd to help him on his quest, but after coming into trouble at the bar they fled outside and into a plaza. The boy got distracted by things he saw there and in one moment the other one separated and vanished. Realizing it he got uppset but worse was that his own money disappeared with his companion as well. Confused and broken hearted he didn´t know where to go, he hadn´t any opportunity to travel toward his destination without money and he hardly considered to give up. But after staying in the city for a while he got a job as cleaner at a crystal shop.

The boys name is Santiago and he is from anduluasia and this is his adventure toward Egypt. Im trying to explain the biggest and most happenings in the book with as less important details and names as possible, so you can read the whole story by yourself.
