Treasure: A Hero's Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886922103)

TREASURE: A Hero's Journey is the true story of how Paulo Coelho's famous fable THE ALCHEMIST happened to Karen Williams in real life, at a time when she had never heard of the author or his fable. In 1995 Karen was living in Andalusia, southern Spain when 'cosmic forces of fate' entered her life, and she began a Hero's Journey in search of her soul. What she didn't know back then was that she would live out symbolically many of the events described in THE ALCHEMIST, and also journey to many of the places described in the book. Later on, Karen went on to discover the true meaning of Paulo Coelho's fable and finally that THE ALCHEMIST wasn't totally a work of fiction because Paulo had actually channeled the story from an invisible spiritual realm, leading him to predict Karen's future.
