Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world, and this tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction from the author, will only increase that following. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

人的心是很大的，放得下我們喜歡的每一樣東西。 當你停止喜歡一個人，他就會在你心裡慢慢死去。澤澤是一個敏感、早熟的小男生；有時頑皮如惡魔，有時善良如天使。他有一個很受他疼愛的小弟弟、兩個姊姊一個哥哥——還有一個姊姊生下來就送給親戚撫養了。爸爸失業後工作遲遲無著，聖誕夜的晚餐桌上只有土司和咖啡，上學時書包裡沒有午餐。 大人們忙於生計，能給澤澤的愛是那麼少，他只能藉著惡作劇，聊以增添貧乏生活的樂趣並引起大人們的注意——往往是一陣好打。鞭打與斥喝一次次摧折他稚嫩的身心，如是循環往復。五歲那年，澤澤在後院「馴養」了一棵小小的甜橙樹，小樹成為最願意傾聽他的快樂與煩惱的密友。同一年夏天，澤澤認識了街頭走唱人和待他如子的葡萄牙人，使他的小世界中有了音樂、溫暖與愛。就在他快樂地大口啜飲愛的蜜汁時，一場意外迎面襲來，逼著澤澤在一夕之間長大…… 作者在四十八歲時以溫情之筆寫下這個自傳性質的故事，宛如寄了一封信給五歲澤澤——以及許多和澤澤一樣經歷過敏銳少年時的人；信紙微微泛黃，回憶有些氤氳。

Set in Paris and in the enchanting landscape of central Asia, this new novel by the author of the international bestsellers The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes follows the journey of a man obsessed with finding the wife who left him without an explanation.

The narrator of The Zahir is a bestselling novelist who lives in Paris and enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. His wife of ten years, Esther, is a war correspondent who, despite her professional success and freedom from the conventional constraints of marriage, is facing an existential crisis. When she disappears along with a friend, Mikhail, who may or may not be her lover, the authorities question the narrator. Was Esther kidnapped, killed, or did she simply abandon a marriage that left her unfulfilled? The narrator doesn't have any answers but he has plenty of questions of his own.

Then one day Mikhail, the man with whom Esther was last seen, finds the narrator and promises to take him to his wife. In his attempt to recapture a love lost, the narrator discovers something unexpected about himself.

A haunting and redemptive story about the dark side of obsession, The Zahir explores its potential to both fulfill our dreams and to destroy them. It is also a thoughtful meditation on faith, celebrity, marriage -- and their relationships to freedom and creativity.
